Good concept, poorly executed.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

A romance novelist needs help getting the "seal" aspects of her next book just right. Well, well her editor just happens to have a hunk of a brother that is a former NAVY Seal! Surprise, surprise they love/hate each other. Soon sparks are flying though neither will admit it. Will they be bone headed and let each other slip away or admit their feelings to themselves and each other?

I liked the idea of the movie but I think the character of Colin being a "technical adviser" for a romantic novel on a Navy SEAL needed a "technical adviser." I think Steve Bacic would be a little too young to be a retired Navy Captain. That rank is one step below Admiral and he looks just too young for that rank. Lieutenant Commander or even Commander would have been more believable. In the scene where Colin has to save the day by being the photographers model irked me. I didn't pause the movie to check the correct order of all the ribbons although at a quick glance, they looked correct. However, the Presidential Unit Citation ribbon that he is wearing is on upside down. It's horizontally striped ribbon, Navy blue, gold and red top to bottom. His is red stripe up. It is something that would be a glaring mistake to a high ranking naval officer. Bottom line, though I enjoyed the movie.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie tonight. Yes there might have been a question at the end about a passport. but this did not interfere with the building of this story and development of each character. I liked the restraint of affection as most love stories today end up with a date or two then become very intimate. If you are looking for a nice movie to curl up and watch and enjoy love stories I am sure this would be a pleasure for many.The light touch of comedy was also good and very tasteful. Most movies I fall asleep after I have figured out the ending but this kept me watching and hoping the end would be what I hoped it would be.This was a very good movie and kept you guessing to the very last moment.

Many romance movies are just average.... this one is a little different. I loved the story and I loved the actors. Somehow the friend and the boss were just right. And don't we just love someone going through mud......just to look charming. It sure is worth watching when you love romantic movies.
