Overview
Though Rachel is a successful attorney and a loyal, generous friend, she is still single. After one drink too many at her 30th-birthday celebration, Rachel unexpectedly falls into bed with her longtime crush, Dex -- who happens to be engaged to her best friend, Darcy. Ramifications of the liaison threaten to destroy the women's lifelong friendship, while Ethan, Rachel's confidant, harbors a potentially explosive secret of his own.
While this movie leaves a lot to be desired, the criticisms of it are ridiculous. It apparently didn’t appeal to some because (checks notes) sometimes bad people come out on top. That isn’t romanticizing bad behavior, it is just the truth. If you are offended by this fact, there is a Hallmark channel made just for you. Anyway…. the best thing about this film was that there was another layer to the story – almost a double romcom, if you will. That layer gave it a little more credibility than maybe it otherwise deserved.
