Woman meets the man of her dreams... and then another who happens to be his brother.

Although not particularly original, I found this film enjoyable for a made-for-TV movie. Sure it's not one that you'd rush out to the cinema to watch but it's still good if you want to sit in front of the telly with your feet up and a good cup of tea. I found myself continuously screaming at the telly when I was watching this; why can't people just take the easy option for a change and choose the best man? Then again that wouldn't make much of a film and part of what makes it so interesting is seeing the struggle that the leading lady goes through in deciding who to pick. Look out for the twist towards the end too... it was the best part of the whole film!
