How come I never go for a walk in the park and meet an eligible CEO who is just about to sell his company? Well that’s what happens when the young “Andy” (Chris Murrah) is sitting on a bench with his dog and he is joined by “Paul” (Jon Lindstrom) who has just acquired his new pup and they duly bond over doggie stories. Over a period of time, they begin to get to know each other and we quickly establish the former is a gay lad whilst the latter is constantly being harangued by his sister “Elise” (Wendie Malick) to meet a nice lady. The more she pushes, the more he finds himself drawn to his new young friend but having been so dedicated on his business for his life so far, has he the faintest idea how the whole courting game works - boy or girl? It’s got the look of a television movie about it from start to finish, has some terribly cheesy dialogue and is about as predicable as the sun coming up in Jamaica - except possibly, for Malick who brings a little hutzpah to this otherwise routine drama. It does focus a little on age-gap politics, and on assumptions ill-informed people can jump to but sadly it does nothing particularly originally and leaves us with little of substance. Daytime fodder, sorry.
