This was hard to get through. I wanted to like it but there was no chemistry between the main characters, the acting seemed forced at best, and the story was, well, not great.
When Lillian first showed up at the small company, she was there because she was evaluating them to see if her company should invest, not because they asked her to come and invest, but she was just so whiny and off-putting - I couldn't get past her attitude. The rest of the story was trite. What office workers line up for office supplies? Who wheels their chair around to wrap gifts? Who rides the world's slowest bicycle around to deliver gifts? While the idea behind the company was cute, there is no way, being run like that, it would have lasted more than six months, never mind being the target of an investment firm.
We usually watch these movies more than once and enjoy them, but this one won't get a second watch from me - that was not time well-spent. If this comes across your suggested watch list, just say no.
