With John's social life at a standstill and his ex-wife about to get remarried, a down on his luck divorcée finally meets the woman of his dreams, only to discover she has another man in her life - her son. Before long, the two are locked in a battle of wits for the woman they both love-and it appears only one man can be left standing when it's over.

★ 4/10
Decent premise but really slow pacing (especially in the first 1/3 of the film) and ultimately I felt that the execution of the idea was underwhelming. Weird way to turn it super drama-heavy for the last 10 minutes. Kinda funny to have Reilly living in unit #13 tho.
