Ben (Jack Quaid) and Alice (Maya Erskine) are platonic college friends. She has recently been dumped and the two friends are both facing daunting lists of wedding invites. His father Chuck (Ed Begley Jr.) is marrying for the third time to his much younger girlfriend. Alice has the idea to be each other's plus one and wingman.
Maya Erskine is hilarious. Jack Quaid is not quite at her comedic level. For example, the cuddling scene needs a bigger response from him. It would be funnier if he pushes her face away. Maya is good with faces and it would be hilarious to get it smooshed. He's not the straight man. He needs to dial up his comedy a notch or two. As for Ben's sudden change, it needs more of a setup. I expected an earlier meeting with Nate or what about Shaina who cheated with Nate. If Alice has a big confrontation with Shaina at a wedding, Ben could have doubts about Alice's jealous feelings towards her ex. It would be much better than Ben having weird cold feet out of nowhere. Him bringing the flowers for Alice is a great bit and I love the ending reveal. If the breakup is set up better, this would be a completed rom-com.
