This is not, thank the gods, a closed door film. The movie is also–woo hoo!!!–genuinely sexy.
When Hale and Stowell banter–the scene where they put down their imaginary weapons while sitting at their respective desks is brilliant–you can’t wait for them to do it again. Josh’s character is also given a deeper backstory–disappointingly, there’s little here about Lucy’s family and her psychological history–and it’s impossible not to root for him to overcome his fear of being hurt by yet another person he loves. His Josh is a man who seems to have it all and yet Stowell deftly shows Josh’s insecurities–it’s easy to see why Lucy can’t resist him. Stowell, in particular, wonderfully realizes Josh’s broody, frustrated love for Lucy. I give high marks for the casting–Lucy Hale and Austin Stowell not only give lovely life to Thorne’s leads, the two have incandescent chemistry. Let me start by talking about what works.
