A fun movie that has a very authentic take on relationships

This film displays several different dynamics: friendships between guys, friendships between girls and guys, brotherly love and romantic relationships. Each of these relationships are portrayed very honestly and bluntly, but in a fun and amusing way.

Paul Alessi (as Kyle) and Ross McCall (as Ethan) have great chemistry as brothers. Kyle makes it his job to teach Ethan how to be a stronger, more confident, well-respected man in his personal life, which also transfers over to his professional life as budding film director. Kyle's strategy is tough love, but a lot of what he says makes sense and is even backed by a scientific study!

If you want to see an original and unique take on a romantic comedy, I highly recommend watching this!

I'm normally not one to review films

I'm normally not one to review films, although when I watched this one I felt it deserved it and I also absolutely recommend it.

It's not a star-studded Hollywood film, and quite frankly I preferred it. I thought that the actors were excellent, totally relatable, and believable. Some of the connections and chemistry between the actors had me drawn in and I was emotionally attached. There are truly a few standout gems among this cast that I hope to see a lot more from.

Surprisingly sneaking in the funny from both Kyle, and Russell played by Paul J. Alessi and Omar Gooding had me laughing out loud multiple times.

I would of like to have seen more of Jenna, played by Katrina Law, who also played Nyssa al Ghul from "Arrow".
