A year after her high-profile relationship blew up and she lost her job, Jenna Jones (played by Gabrielle Union) is forced to ask her frenemy Darcy for a job at Darzine.
That night she goes out with two close friends and randomly kisses a man 15 years younger than her. The next day at work, Jenna meets Eric (Played by Keith Powers), the same younger man. He is Darcy’s son, the company’s new videographer.
Finding out who Eric is is enough to make Jenna wary of him. However, their chemistry cannot be denied and soon she finds herself in a forbidden romance with her boss’s son.
MY REVIEW
Usually, I’m not a movie kind of girl. I like to watch shows that have more meat on the bones. It has to give me at least ten hours so I can fully connect. But I saw Gabrielle and Keith Powers on the poster and I was like ‘hot couple – must watch’. So the moment Netflix dropped the movie, I was there to pick it up.
Honestly, I liked it. Not just because Gabrielle Union has the power to make you fully immersed in her character but because the premise of the movie was interesting. Girl gives her best years to some guy, the guy ends up disappointing her. She decides to have her own hot-girl summer but somehow that ends up being more complicated than she planned it to be.
Now, could it have been better. Yes, it could have been. Because there was such a time limit a lot of things were rushed especially towards the end. Also some of the choices the characters made were eyebrow raising but I’ll take it. Still, I’d love it if it got made into a series. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know… I should stop dreaming, right? lol/
THE VERDICT: 7/10 because the characters were hot, their chemistry was sizzling, and after it was all over, I still wanted more. Also, it was directed by Numa Perrier. My, my, my… how far our girl has come.
