A straightforward rom-com premise executed effortlessly by all involved.

Since I never really watched much Felicity, I had no opinion one way or another on Russell’s acting chops, but she shines here, pulling off good-natured hopelessness with aplomb. Nathan Fillion shows another side of the dopey smartass he honed on Firefly with a lot more aw-shucks thrown in. He’s evolving into a formidable comic talent.

Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm) and Shelly portray Russell’s fellow waitstaff, playing off each other with crackerjack timing. Hines in particular gives a performance that skirts Best Supporting Actress territory. Jeremy Sisto, Eddie Jemison, Andy Griffith, and Lew Temple all give top notch support.
