Quite an average love story. Nothing more, nothing less. Fortunately the lead actress wasn't too dolled up and after a rough start she was quite likeable. The lead actor didn't look like an outdoorsy type to me at all though (it takes a little more than a beard). Not very believable. Support cast was okay, nice scenery.
The benefit of the doubt, just because I like love stories in general: a very meager 6 out of 10.
Plot summary

Bad script
A supposed smart woman has hissy fit in elevator. But didn't have one when boyfriend breaks up. Poor dialog. Bad story line. All around bad movie.
Thought it was about fishing, it's not
Based on the title I thought it was about fishing upstream, it's not, I don't think there was even a stream? The premise was sort of interesting, dumped relationship expert needs to write a new book so she goes on an adventure camping trip to write about her experiences. The scenery is beautiful, water, sunsets, made me want to go glamping! The characters were convincing but I kept thinking something was missing? Who stole the canoes? Did she really think she was better than all of them? I didn't get that sense until the ending when the boss made the offensive marketing ads. I just thought she wanted to prove she wasn't a stuck up city girl. Also is this how publishing works? People get an enormous amount of time to vacation and "write a book" but no pages ever have to be shown until the veryyyyyy last minute? Promo is made before the book is finished? This story has been done many times but I always find it odd. I also get annoyed when a character says they have to care for an injured parent and we NEVER see them actual care for them.
