Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Chris Brander has always been friends with Jamie Palamino, but now decides it is time to take his relationship to the next step. The problem is that Jamie still wants to be Just Friends. When he moves to L.A., he becomes an attractive music manager, whom everyone wants. He is flying to Paris with his newest singing sensation Samantha James when their jet catches fire and is forced to land. He ends up back home; to his surprise he re-encounters Jamie--and sets out to be more than Just Friends this time. Written by Film_Fan |
