The premise was promising, as the two main characters were developing nicely to their ill fated encounter. But that's where things fizzled and became quite predictable and mundane: silly, sappy formulaic Hollywood. The narrative was not very amusing, a fast food romance. Michael Rady as Kevin was flat and the sequence with the studio executives was pedestrian. Laura, played by Abby Wathen, teased with potential but could not muster enough without the hook of her roommate, Meghan Markle who sparkled as Mindy, offering the only real laughs throughout the movie, salvaging it from being flat out awful. The tie in to the talk show interview with the "Laws of Attraction" thread was sophomoric and hard to watch especially the scene as the credits rolled.

(2013)
Creativity lacking in a not so amusing and sappy love story.
