The acting is poor with a few that players that are really bad. Peyton's parents are a perfect example of killing with kindness and not in a good sense. They're love is totally destructive to Peyton, especially her career. Only the cheesiest climax ever could bring about the expected typical rom/com results. I think the setting for what happened was inappropriate, otherwise it could have been a sweet climax.

Ansley Gordon' and Jonathan Stoddard have less than zero chemistry. Peyton spends the entire movie backing away from Archer either physically or emotionally. Stoddard exhibits no sincerity in Archer's feelings for Peyton. I don't like using superlatives like worst, and a lot of these movies rush the romance so much that it's hard to believe when they fall for each other, but I can't think of another rom/com I've seen where the romantic ending makes less sense. I never felt that Archer's affection was genuine for Peyton. In Peyton's case, it definitely didn't seem like she had any affection for him until suddenly, she did.
