This movie is a cute rom-com. It is based on a book that I really enjoyed. It feels like a Hallmark movie and is a little cheesy, but overall still enjoyable. The soundtrack and fashion in it were both great. It is a nice feel-good movie. This movie had a couple of big name stars, but it didn't feel as well done as it could have been. This sometimes happens with romantic comedies or movies based on books. It was an enjoyable movie, but it just was not great. I don't think I would probably watch it again, but I did not regret watching it once. I remembered the story from the book and felt they could've done more with it.

A rom com that could have been good, but just wasn't. No build up, their first encounter is strange, to say the least. At first I thought she was dreaming the whole thing. The ending, I don't think anyone needed that. Everything in between....it has a few good moments, funny too. Very annoying how the time frame is off. She's 40, but refers to 'being born in the 70's'. And supposedly met her ex in college and was with him for 10 yrs, which ended a year ago (so at 39)? How? Things like this can easily be avoided. She also seems rather immature for a woman her age, with a high profile career.

Now, it may be 'just' a rom com, but still a mediocre one.

I saw Gabrielle Union on the front page cover and thought about the many movies she was in that were decent so I gave this a go, plus I wanted a break from all the sci-fi movies and reality tv shows I was binging.

The start of the movie was already like okay awkward with the mom conversation but I kept on. Apparently she's a big name in the fashion industry and was humiliated by her ex boyfriend publicly and she went off the grid for about a year to live with her parents.

Her mother wants her to move out. So she moves to Brooklyn and begs her "arch nemesis" for a job by insulting her and again weird but okay. She goes out to celebrate with her to a club. But then this was the start of the many red flags with the editing for me. Somehow she ends up by herself staring out the window smoking and then falling asleep standing up only to get startled by some random guy not dressed for the night. Then they engage in this awkward conversation and start making out and all I'm thinking is, that this is the ex boyfriend and they're role playing, but then she realizes he's too young and gets off from his lap and runs off to find her friends to leave what I think is an upscale club.

She goes to work and who does she meets, you guessed it the young guy who happens to be her bosses son.

Anyway after that scene more cringy things happen her boss makes her swear not to get involved with her son in a private meeting blah blah blah more cringy scenes then they get caught having oral in his moms house she gets fired obviously.

So they break up because he didn't defend her against his mom. It seems like sometime has passed because of the montage of him dragging a Christmas tree up the street. However, it looks like it's still summer because I'm 100% sure that it's cold af in New York around Christmas time.

Anyway, she leaves him a voicemail so they can meet up. While they're catching up or rather us viewers getting up to date with what thankfully awful scenes got cut off (her being a professor and him starting his own thing) then she reveals to him that she's pregnant.

Like I was trying to do the math but truly nothing in this movie made sense so it was to no surprise that the math either. Anyway he wasn't happy he throws a fit and storms off the restaurant.

Soooo, the ex boss visits her to tell her she won't abandon her grandchild like her parent did with her. Then out of nowhere he shows up to her gender reveal doc appointment and then he invites her to his mother's gala so apparently more cringy scenes gets cut off because they're back together and the movie ends.

I'm sure if you got to the end of this overview you prob thinking that this review is bad, no, trust me, the movie is not that far off either. The good thing about it was that I got to see Remy Ma and Dwayne Wade briefly. I didn't even remember the names of anyone in the movie and I just finished watching it.

I highly do not recommend watching this movie with high expectations but please support our black community.
