Janice, still adrift in the adult world in her 30s, shocks her family when she falls for Tim, a similarly aimless street performer.
Another entry into the quest of finding what's right to watch on Valentines Day this year, and it's a good one. First to remove my bias opinion , I need to get out in the open my other love of TV Shows. The reason for this is because this movie is full of familiar faces from some of our favorite comedies and drama's. You will see Jenna Fischer (The Office), Chris Messina (The Mindy Project, Damages), Malin Ã…kerman (Children's Hospital), Rich Sommer (Mad Men), Lucy Punch (Ben & Kate), Topher Grace (That 70's Show), and we can't forget Bob Odenkirk (Breaking Bad, How I Met Your Mother).
Now that I have name dropping out of the way, let me boast this movie. I might even have to re-watch it on Valentine's Day, it was cute and fun. It's tells that true to life story about life's ups and downs while still having fate intervene giving a happy ending. Everyone falls into place perfectly in this movie, although I am starting to wonder if Jenna Fischer is beginning to be the same in every movie I see her in (except for Walk Hard). The story follow's her (Janice) downtime with employment and love in parallel with Tim's (Chris Messina) similar bad times. Then as fate plays it's role, then come together in simple ways. Tim was a street performer (The Giant Mechanical Man) who needed to get his act together. He ended up on TV and the things he said touched Janice in way that she felt connected to him, never knowing until near the end that he is actually Tim.
This movie has the possibility of being on my top 3 for that special day, but I do have 10 more potential movies I have to view before I can make this judgment. Even if it does not make the list, watch it, you will enjoy it with a smile.
