Try a similar movie instead

I really wanted to like this movie and at the beginning I did. Mostly because it reminded me of the Marcia Gay Harden movie "If I Were You." - similarly that movie involves a middle-aged lead that falls into a local theatre production and plot evolves from there.

This movie got a little too messy at the end with the leads coming off a bit too unlikable for my taste. The ending didn't work for me either - it seemed like they wanted to have it both ways. I would have liked to see the plot of Romeo and Juliet connecting with the plot of the leads a bit more.

Things I liked - you could definitely see the spark between the leads.

I like this genre but this one just didn't quite hit the mark for me.
