If I watch B-grade movies, it's usually as a precursor to falling asleep and it generally works. This one was no exception, probably because it was (IMO) boring as.
The story focuses on two people who meet by chance; there is a twenty-year gap between the young, single woman and an older man and we observe their main interaction over twenty-four hours, with a brief encounter several months later. This kind of scenario (one on one) requires strong characters, an interesting story-line and engagement by the viewer. Unfortunately, it's a mediocre tale about stereotypes: she is finding herself, desperately wants a boyfriend/husband and latches on to the sympathetic, happily-married family man, with predictable results.
While the male lead appears sympathetic and believable in his role, the woman is irritating in her know-all manner and smart-a responses. However, it is no surprise that he gives in to the once-off opportunity, despite the remorse afterwards (the old cliché of "she made me feel alive" comes to mind). These are not exciting characters and their short-lived relationship is dragged out over the duration of the movie, with nothing to relieve the tedium.
Because the characters are dull, we don't really care about the predictable ending (although it's meant to be a twist on the familiar theme) and where they go from there. We're just glad it's over.

I absolutely loved Wrong Numbers! From the first few minutes, it had this casual, easygoing energy that instantly hooked me. The chemistry between the leads was so natural, and their conversations felt like something straight out of real life. The humor was perfectly timed - not over the top, just genuine and relatable. I loved how the story flowed without ever feeling rushed or forced. It's such a reminder that sometimes the wrong call or wrong turn can lead you exactly where you need to be. By the end, I was smiling like an idiot. Such a fun, heartwarming movie to watch! I would highly recommend it.
Duane Edward's drama/thriller/romance "Wrong Numbers" was a recent discovery (through the film's Facebook page), and what started as a blind watch turned into a 2025 gem discovery!
It takes a lot to captivate an audience these days, especially with a limited cast (two in this case), and essentially focus on one story throughout, which, as a fellow writer, is beyond admirable, and something I hope to accomplish one day.
Yes, there is a lot of back-and-forth talking between the two characters, however, the importance is the realism of the conversations being had and how the actions are handled in an entirely realistic manner.
I promise that once you finish this film (and I know you will) that you will say to yourself, "I know someone like that".
Mission accomplished to everyone attached to this beautiful indie drama.

I recently checked out Duane Edwards' drama/thriller "Wrong Numbers" on Tubi, and I must say I was quite impressed by the unique approach it took.
Most romantic thrillers follow the same formula (since the beginning of time), however, Wrong Numbers breaks that cycle and chooses its lane and stays in that lane during the film's duration.
As mentioned in the title of the review, it's a little "Harry Met Sally" with a touch of toxicity, which I feel blends perfectly with today's dating/relationship scene, as it's almost encouraged to be in a toxic relationship.
David and Emily both offer stellar performances and are the main reasons to stick around for the thrilling climax.
Highly recommend!

First of all, let me just start up by saying I don't understand all of the one star reviews. This is a very well done indie that deserves quite a bit of praise. First off, the film looks great, well shot and composed. Both actors were entirely natural and real - something that is often missing from movies like this. The writing is strong, with an emphasis on conversation between disparate male/female dynamics. As the action progressed and took a genuine turn, l found myself talking to the TV, which I don't do often, and to me, that's good writing...I was fully engaged. Give this film a look; it showcases a lot of talent and is a cut above usual small-budget films.
