The term 'watching paint dry' could apply to this film. The acting was bland, and it was two hours of a non-existent story. Even the street scenes were clearly shot on a movie lot with the painted cardboard buldings so obvious. If I never saw the two leads again in a film it would be too soon.

Theler plays the buff single uncle taking care of his brother's kids for summer break whilst visiting land valuer Shaw is working on behalf of her big city client to cost the local library for sale and eventual redevelopment.

TV star Washington features in a supporting role as local wise-owl, green thumb and matchmaker Gus, at whose guesthouse Shaw is staying, and the surprise package is former Hollywood action lady Ticotin playing the head librarian concerned for the future of the town's beating heart.

It's bland and cheesy with a threadbare plot that's little more than an outline of tired cliches, everything from the inhospitable local cafe that only does one type of coffee to Theler's backstory as the black sheep who chose writing over the family business, offering no shocks, surprises nor suspense. The only surprise is how Washington and Ticotin ended up in this dull, superficial romcom.
