New York playwright in a slump Ben accepts his friend Kevin's invitation to spend some quiet time is his sleepy Connecticut harbor town. Although his polite order of a tea in Kevin's partner's sister Donavan's coffee-shop owes him an absurd scolding from the owner, whose incompetence runs that business into the ground, Ben is amused and interested and a curious bond grows between them. The local banker having sold out to a large company, her trouble loan is about to foreclose in three days. Then her former perfect lover, whom she failed to follow to his big town dream job, returns to town with a surprise deal to get a nice bonus from selling to a mall developer before, yet gets an even ruder reaction from the 'idealist barista', whose clientele enjoys the informal dwelling place socially. Despite another precipitous insult, Ben rides to the rescue.

| User ReviewLee WJust because. This movie had absolutely no effect. I forgot about it the second it ended. However, it was a pleasant experience. I've seen worse. |
| User ReviewLisa KLittle hokey, little Hallmark-esque, but fun and enjoyable. |
| User ReviewHeather MSweet, sugar coated, romantic fairytale. Good distraction but exactly like so many others. |
| User ReviewAnto DA less than great movie but I gotta say something and I don't know where else to say it: The secondary couple (with Donavan's sister and her boyfriend) is the most toxic relationship I've ever seen in cinema. There were large chunks of the movie where the main reason I kept watching was to see the pair of them (especially her but him as well) get their comeuppance. I wanted them to break up with each other and then get coincidentally destroyed by a 5000 ton asteroid. I wanted them to get sucked into a jet engine and pulverized. I wanted them to fall off a boat while wearing blood coated chain mail so they would get eaten by sharks as they drowned. I wanted them to get run over by a steamroller as it paved the parking lot. I wanted for there to actually be arsenic in every goddamn cup of coffee they drank in the whole movie and for them to gratuitously and dramatically gag and keel over as they gasped for breath, the life draining from their eyes as Donavan and Ben stood over them, laughing maniacally at their foolish plans.
