Is this a parody? There are constant exaggerations. The mom is off the scale ridiculous and cringe worthy. Ali Liebert keeps throwing in sarcastic comments which totally fit. Autumn Reeser perfectly plays the object of so many little accidents and slights, the butt of the writer's jokes. Shawn Roberts' Max is the man of reason while Peter is the one held up to be so sensible and safe. Peter is just clueless.
If it is not a parody of some sort, the acting and/or directing of other than Reeser, Liebert and Roberts is terrible. I think they were probably directed to be lame. Those three were quite good especially Reeser.
There is chemistry between Roberts and Reeser, but I wish they had shared more screentime. There was a real nonromantic chemistry between Reeser and Liebert.
The premise, though common, is obviously impossible, so finding inconsistencies is pointless. There were a few, the biggest of which would be how did Jacyln find a way or time to be alone with Max? Who cares? The movie made no sense, but it was fun. Despite all the cases of what could have set off alarms of unreality, I just relaxed and enjoyed. I don't often do that in this type of movie.
