Why we’d put this one on
Jesse Metcalfe is Bradley, a country music star home to sell his childhood house before a glossy Hollywood wedding, and Autumn Reeser is Sarah, the best friend he is asking to plan it. The hook that makes this one sing: the two of them consider themselves married thanks to a mock ceremony they performed at age 13. There is a diner sandwich named after him and a pair of Italian cowboy loafers he wears to a ranch. It is a second-chance, childhood-promise romance with real warmth, and at 6.9 it is one of the sturdier crowd-pleasers in the batch.
