Pretty unique story line
Good family story but a little falt
This movie starts out a little different than most in this genre, but part of that comes from the premise which is similar in some ways to the kiss in an elevator premise - two strangers meet but get separated. There is not a kiss right off, but otherwise the two leads who hit it off lose track of each other due to a power outage in the store where they are shopping. What is a little unusual here is how much time the lead couple spends with each other and they do some bonding but only at the beginning. Most of the story is about near misses on the two reconnecting. This is keeps going right up to the last minute.
Something feels just a bit off with the acting and the lines. Maybe a little flat. But there are also a few funny ones.
Usually, the thing that draws me to this kind of movie where romance is more important than any other theme is time spent developing the romance. Again the premise is responsible for taking a lot of that out of the equation. It is interesting however that Kim does interact with Ashley, without realizing she is Theo's daughter.
