So this is a weird movie... and I need to start with saying I did not know anything about this movie until like the day it aired. ABC Family did a lot of commercials for it... I didn't think it was a real tv movie- I thought it was just a web advertising thing that they were doing... but nope. It was a real movie... so that was interesting.
I think the concept of this movie is... barely even a concept. Lizzie and Simon both have trouble falling asleep. Lizzie seemingly because she is stressed out about marrying Mr. Right... or Mr. Wright because his name is actually Josh Wright. Although Lizzie is a very successful party planner- she is having trouble planning a wedding with Josh and it doesn't help that she just can't fall asleep.
Simon is a bartender with dreams of opening his own bar... but because he can never sleep he's a slacker and his girlfriend Nicola breaks up with him. One day Simon decides to go for a walk only to be hit by Lizzie's car.
Lizzie offers Simon a ride to the hospital to get checked out shortly after running him over... but then the two end up bonding over the song Lights Down Low by Max (featuring gnash)... I never knew who sang this and just assumed it was Sean Mendez... so that's kind of the good thing out of this. Anyway they end up falling asleep... and getting an actual good nights sleep.
Shortly after that- they go back to their normal lives... but Lizzie can't help thinking about how she could only sleep with him... and she got so much accomplished after that... so eventually she goes to his bar and approaches him with a plan for them to sleep together... but literally just sleep... and she would help him fund his bar.
Basically after that... there are a lot of montages of them sleeping together instead of actually showing their relationship or anything... there's some wedding planning. You can tell enough that they like each other... but it is mostly montages. And then Lizzie's fiance finds out... and obviously eventually Lizzie breaks up with Josh during their wedding... which Simon attends and runs away from... and eventually I think Lizzie hits him with her car again? Or the limo driver or someone hits him with the car.
And the last scene was the two of them sleeping together- calling each other Mr. and Mrs. Whatever Simon's last name is... and then right after they say how great their sleep was- you can hear a baby cry in the backround.
So that was all fun and cute. Honestly I did like the characters of this movie a lot... and while I wasn't a fan of the movie being told mostly through montages and small scenes... I did actually have fun watching it and it was a cute movie. If they ever make a sequel- which I have a feeling they will... I'll probably watch that too. It's not going to be a yearly tradition or anything... but I thought it was cute and I had fun watching it.
PS- Not a Hallmark Movie- this was a Free Form movie.
Bye!
