Playing It Cool

What it's about:

This is the story of me, a young man disillusioned by love, who meets a breathtaking young woman, her, at a charity dinner by pretending to be a philanthropist. Only one problem: she’s engaged. Yet, he engages into a platonic relationship in order to keep seeing her. Like a young Walter Mitty using the power of imagination and wild vignettes, he will stop at nothing to conquer her heart.

What the critics say:

Movies don't get much more meta than this: a film about a screenwriter worried about writing a rom-com script because he's never been in love...

Playing It Cool is perfectly adequate date-night fare, but it would have benefited from stretching its legs and seeing more of the world.

Playing it Cool has appeal. But it is just not good enough to unsettle the rom-com genre and get people really talking, laughing and loving.

Relying too much on fantasy sequences and obvious from the first scenes in intent and conclusion, it's puzzling why Evans misses so badly.
