The movie draws heavy inspiration from the film While you were Sleeping, and is in part very much a copy paste work. However this movie fails to deliver the same depth to it's main character as that one. Josephine Langford does well but is hardly convincing an intelligent computer science student, that think lying to a whole family about who she is would be a great idea. Rather than just telling Zach's family the truth and have them all play along until he regains his memory she lies for the reason that she want to hook up with his cousin. Something she doesn't follow through with but instead uses Zach as a type of rebound guy out of spite.
Drew Starkey is charming and it's easy to see why anyone would fall in love with Zach, however the movie never really let him expand his talent and it feel much like a lost opportunity to have someone as talented never deliver any deeper emotions on Zach's behalf.
The other characters are just kind of there, the movie would not be any different with or without them. Casting Andy McDowell is a throwback to the 90's rom-com era but that is also all it delivers on.
The movie is it's own kind of charming and not terrible in any way, it's perfect for when you want to watch a film you know you are going to like because it's easy and obvious, but it does not live up properly to the rom-com hype it is going for.
