This is another low budget Reel One Entertainment TV movie. Technically is almost completely fine. The location is clearly fake, but it's not a big deal as BC city pretending to be WA is fine. Big plus is there is barely any Seattle stock footage. Music is forgettable like in so many other new ROE TV movies, but at least is not bad like in some other.

Cast is mostly fine. Marlie Collins is one of the better ROE actresses, but sadly in this one she overacted a bit of too much in the most of scenes. I'm going to blame director. Also I didn't like her with a ponytail. She's much prettier with hair down, and the good news is she at least used both styles. I never watched Adam Hollick, and I think he was excellent, and better than almost every other current ROE actor.

I don't remember when was the last time I watched TV movie which starts really good, and the more time pass it gets weaker and weaker. It reminds me of many Asian dramas which start really strong but they just self implode in the last third. I think movie starts really strong, and I would say roughly first 30 min are above average. Then the next 30 min are bit of boring but still good for average. And then lady in red (dress) trope happened. I'm really disappointed in the last 30 min, especially Act III is lame, and the last scene is just sterotypically cringe.

And obligatory don't watch trailer (for some reasons here is only posted shortened version) as it's the ROE one and for some unknown reason(s) it shows whole movie compressed.

Reel One Entertainment (ROE) is known for mass producing low budget rom-coms, that mostly have low quality. ROE, Nicely and others tend to use the Hallmark formula, a female lead with her own business stumbles into romance. Low budget rom-coms seem to be obsessed with apps especially dating ones, maybe to appeal to a younger audience. The "app" plots tend to be duds and this one is no exception, along with a lot of the dialog.

Marlie Collins the female lead doesn't work, totally not believable as a tech exec. I blame the director for not getting a believable performance from her. Adam Hollick the male lead is very good and carries scenes he's in and is believable as a marking guru. The supporting cast was ok.

The temptation to be critic about this film is not exactly a reduced one. But it has two basic virtue - the drops of good humor and the fair perspective about dating apps. And, indeed, the nice job of Marlie Collins and Adam Hollick is a good point of film -ignoring the labzrinth of relation -.

Unfair to expect too much, the cat and the end and the stories of supporting characters are just enough for a pleasant show who, not ignoring the recipe , offers some questions and some romance and some decent acting.

So, nothing new, nothing bad but, in essence good option for very precise target. And ...that is just all.
