Succesful Boston lawyer Jonathan McIntyre is a fatherless workaholic, who only dates girls recommended as career boosts by his colleague and buddy Nick Sweeney. At Jonathan's festive inauguration as the law firm's youngest full partner, he meets in the elevator Liberty Taylor, the caterer, who still refuses to pick one of her jobs for every day of the week. Encouraged enterprisingly by his secretary Rosemary, they date and start falling in love. As Nick predicted, her lack of ambition and social skills prove rather a big obstacle for his future. Written by KGF Vissers
A flat, unimaginative script is the main killer for this numbing chick flick, but not the only culprit. This appears to be a team effort by the director, writer and actors. I stuck with it because my wife likes to watch movies until the end; since I love harmony with my wife, I forced myself to stay awake.
Hallmark Channel seems to be known for sappy flicks -- and sappy flicks have their place -- but this piece of junk would have been better as a high school film project (viewed by a few dozen people).
There was, perhaps, one clever line in the entire movie, though I can't recall it now. The lead characters were generic and boring, the plot was oh-so-predictable, and the score was incredibly annoying and ridiculous.
The key positive was that it was over in less than 90 minutes.
