What if you fall in love with a mayor’s son? What if your only chance to prove your boss wrong is snatched by the spoiled brat or, as everyone knows him, the mayor’s kid? Directed by Jason James, the adorable love story titled “A Town Called Love” takes place between Emma, who impersonates her boss to teach the mayor’s son a lesson and, as you guessed it, is the mayor’s son.
The film does not offer anything unique for viewers to enjoy, as it is just an ordinary love story between a spoiled rich brat and a woman trying to prove herself. The series female lead of the romantic comedy has overacted throughout the film, while the male lead has done an okayish job.
The film focuses on a budding romance between an ordinary woman and an elite man living in his father’s shadow.
The film is a cliche because once Emma starts bonding with the major’s son, she realizes that he is someone she wants to spend her life with, even with existing differences in their class.
Marshall William plays Riley’s role, the movie’s male protagonist, Peter Louis Chouinard plays the role of a tour guide, Nika Low plays Kay’s role, Marnie Mahannah plays Molly’s role, Terry O’Sullivan plays Mima’s role, John Prowse playing Mitch Taylor’s role, Sarah Christine playing Jenna Ashcroft’s role, Kate Twa playing Alice’s role, and Christopher Wardrop playing AI’s role.
Produced by Tom Berry and Imogen Cooper, the film might interest you if you like a light-hearted romantic comedy.
