Tim (David Spade) has met the woman of his dreams. Unfortunately her name is Melissa (Molly Sims) and right before meeting her he went on the worst date with a different Melissa (Lauren Lapkus), and by the title you can probably guess which one he invited to join him on his company retreat.
This is not an original concept. This is the latest Happy Madison Productions flick to stream on Netflix and it has all the characteristics of every Happy Madison film that came before. The Missy that joins Tim on this trip is incredibly obnoxious. It’s the perfect way to balance Tim’s blandness.
Tim hates that Missy is there until he doesn’t. Of course he ends up falling for Missy and all her undesirable qualities. Lapkus embraces the role fully and she will go anywhere required for her role. She plays it a little too well as there was nothing likable about her character. The filmmakers would have us root for this romance, but it’s difficult especially since the perfect Melissa is well, perfect. Still, you’re not expecting anything else while watching it so it is what it is.
