PLOT:
When Ben Martin e-mails Chloe, a beautiful mystery girl who keeps crossing his path, he sends a message to single mother Charley Anderson by mistake. Ben begins dating Chloe, but she never quite lives up to the e-mail relationship and anonymous friendship he develops with Chloe’s co-worker Charley.
Movie Review:
Okay, this was a refreshing romantic comedy... with no language, sex, violence, etc... There was some drinking, however. No one was ever drunk, though. If you listen closely, Ben tells Charley that he switched to 7UP.
It was a cute romantic mixed up comedy! Ben was attracted to Chloe Andersen because she was pretty to him, but in other ways, he became attracted to Charley Anderson, sharing the same interests in numerous things - music, food, etc... Well, in order to meet Chloe, Ben overheard her telling her e-mail address to a friend and he decided to e-mail her anonymously, as her secret admirer.
Instead of going to Chloe, the e-mails went to Charley and they started to connect anonymously on-line while sharing their thoughts and innermost feelings.
I loved watching the connection between Ben and Charley develop, not only on-line, but in real life, too... and I kept waiting for him to finally dump Chloe for her. In the end, though, Chloe dumped Ben, and after figuring out about the e-mails, revealed all the details to Ben & Charley. It wasn't until then, that Ben finally went after Charley. I think it took him long enough! He should've realized sooner that his attraction to Chloe was only skin deep! (Just my two cents)
All in all, though.... it's a very fun romantic chick-flick! So, next time it's on the Hallmark Channel- be sure to catch it with your girlfriends!

See, it's a fun and sweet romantic comedy!
