Perfect Harmony

While there are echoes of plotlines from many other movies, somehow this feels totally different. We've seen plenty of movies where a best man and maid of honor have some bad history but have to work together. We've seen stories about washed up rock stars. But a rock star and a poetry professor. Hmm.

I never thought of James Denton as a singer, but he's not bad. Not great, but there was no cringing. Sherri Saum has a nice voice. I wouldn't say she could make a career of just singing, but she sounded good here and the two together worked well.

I would have liked more of what was bad about their history. It seems it was only one bad meeting even though Naomi and Simon confronted them at first made it seem like the rift was deeper. As the movie goes on, it appears it was just what happened 10 years ago.

The story flows nicely. I liked the way the handled several incidents including the inevitable conflict. The ending was predictable but still worked.

I never realized that Julia and Peter Benson were a real life couple.

Not sure I like scruffy James Denton. I found it distracting for most of the movie.
