Starring Freddie Prinze Jr., Taryn Manning, Mark Forster, Vanessa Parise, Kelly Rowan, and Peter Stebbings

Jack is a 30-something advertising exec in New York City who lives a life forged from routine. He is successful, stylish, and entirely bored...until he meets Jill. In her 20s, fiery, and adorable, Jill enters Jack's life like a hurricane. They meet and instantly connect, launching into a romance. Together they write a "Manifesto of Rules to Live By," beginning with "Rule 1 – Be Honest." But after too many instances of Jill's disappearing, Jack forces Jill to reveal her secret.

Los Angeles Times Robert Abele

Bubbly to the point of indigestion and mechanical about ticking off the romantic trajectory.
