Summary: It was at a very young age that Abby found herself experimenting with the gift of art while she practically grew up with her aunt while her parents would travel the world without her. Years later she's living with her friend and co-worker Jessica and has the perfect boyfriend, Sy, who doesn't mind seeing romantic comedies, posing for her artwork, and playing in the snow. But suddenly Abby begins tutoring Jessica's cousin, Quinn, about the world of art and while doing so finds herself torn between what real love is. Can she choose between the perfect boyfriend of her dreams and the fun-loving boy from her humanities class? Written by cestlavie03

Review: 

About halfway through the movie, I realized that I have seen this before...  Show's just how memorable a movie it is.  That said, it's a run of the mill made for tv romantic comedy.  The characters are fairly likable.  The plotline is fairly predictable.  That's just about it...  Nothing really else too explain.

Best Bits: 

  • [in an art gallery] Quinn Andrews: It looks like spaghetti.  Abby Morrison: Well maybe to you, but I happen to see something else.  Quinn Andrews: Fettucini, I got it.
  • Quinn Andrews: [while playing pong - the first primitive video game] Just quick question man, when are you gunna get a new game?  Calvin Dillwaller: They made new games?
  • Sy: If he breaks your heart... I'll ...  Abby Morrison: What are you gunna do huh? Are you gunna like stab him with some imaginary sword?
  • Quinn Andrews: Cal, the light.  Calvin Dillwaller: Quinn, the pants.  Quinn Andrews: What?  Calvin Dillwaller: I thought we were playing word association!  Quinn Andrews: No! Just shut off the light!
