New York firefighter Patrick Sullivan had no idea his seemingly idyllic life was about to go up in smoke – especially as the unwitting, second-hand recipient of advice from famed love expert and radio host Dr. Emma Lloyd. One day he is a happy, go-lucky guy looking forward to a life with his soon-to-be-bride. The next thing you know, his fiancée Sophia (Justina Machado) is seeking couples counseling on the radio from Dr. Lloyd. The no-nonsense, ever practical Dr. Lloyd questions Sophia’s concept of romantic love and advises her to break their engagement, which she swiftly does. But when Patrick and his computer-savvy neighbor decide to give Dr. Lloyd a taste of her own medicine and “accidentally” join them in holy matrimony – something that doesn’t go over too well with her fiancée (played by Colin Firth) - it isn’t long before they learn that sometimes even an expert in love needs a second opinion.
 

Stella Papamichael, BBC:
"Only Sam Shepard conveys a modicum of sincerity playing Dr Lloyd's quietly concerned father."

Mike Beharrell, UK's Newbury Today:
"The most relaxed and natural person in the whole thing is Sam Shepard, playing Thurman’s old Dad in a homespun, 'I’m thinking of the money’ kind of way."

Screen Goblin:
"Some of the most heart warming scenes feature Uma playing against screen legend Sam Shepard who plays Wilder, Dr Emily Lloyd’s father."
