First Time Caller

An unassuming Canadian rom-com. The story is very simple: A recently-made single man starts calling a late-night radio talk show to bemoan his relationship woes to the female host.

It's fairly good for its small scale. A decent effort. It ain't massively funny, more just mildly comic. But it's still pretty watchable. Decent dialogue and good chemistry are where this film shines. It has some great music in it too. Could have done with a more complex plot, but this is just a small criticism; clearly it's supposed to be character rather than plot based. It's more in the dialogue than the goings-on - with their warmth and attraction slowly building over the course of the movie. It's sweet. The romance factor of a faceless, but familiar voice. And that point when an innocent flirtation turns not-so-innocent. Et cetera.
