I don't think this movie, or the people involved with it, takes itself seriously. It is certainly different despite a few common tropes.The biggest thing that makes it different from the usual Hallmark rom/com is that the typical romance progression that lead couples usually follow is instead the "romance" progression of the sisters. Antagonism. Cooperation on a project. Grow close. Conflict because of an offence by one of them. Grand gesture. Reconciliation.There is a traditional romance between Megan and Dominic but it totally secondary to the story. It really makes no sense because it is rushed too much with too little screen time together.There are a lot of random gags. Some are funny. There is nothing realistic from start to finish. It has a parody feel to it, but I'm not sure what it was making fun of. Perhaps it was a parody of a typical Hallmark rom/com.If you are after lovable characters, you have to be patient. Megan is pathetic and shallow. Izzy is pathetic and irresponsible. Dominic is likeable and doesn't really have any faults.Glad this isn't a miniseries or a longer movie.

6.4 stars.The story feels like it was AI generated. There is no theme, the plot goes in multiple directions, the narrative is scattered. As the theme is developing, we see much potential however, it veers off course and never returns.It's the story of a successful and career driven woman who intervenes on behalf of her much younger sister, in order to bring balance and purpose to her life. Younger sister still lives with the parents even though she's 30, in addition mother coddles her, therefore older sister is not satisfied with the situation.Due to some challenges in her own career, older sister has much more free time to aid in younger sister's transformation. Together they create a quasi-business model that focuses on a product that is basically a life coaching community. Her younger sister is the client, big sis and several professionals will be her life coaching committee.Where the movie goes from this point is anyone's guess. The romance is fragmented, the point of the committee is blurred, big sister's career is in question, but we aren't certain. She seems to be making deals on the side, but she feels it is all for her younger sister's benefit, but it's not.We have a great cast of characters that is completely underutilized.Either this movie was way too short to provide closure or the writing was haphazard and amateurish, or it should've been made made into a miniseries. If it were a miniseries, I probably wouldn't watch it, and if it was a longer film, it would probably fail to entertain. This film was probably doomed from the start. It's too bad. I suppose they should have focused on making a miniseries that would appeal to a wide range of viewers, something like 'Emily in Paris'.
