Plot

Footloose and fancy-free bachelor Drew needs to find a wife to impress a visiting rich uncle. The uncle has made it clear Drew will only inherit his business when he's married and respectable. Drew's friends Tom and Jenny agree to help him out by allowing Jenny to pose as his wife. Tom is a struggling insurance salesman, and Drew promises him a big insurance deal to add incentive. Farcical complications ensue.

Critical reception

The Radio Times gave the film two out of five stars, writing, "competent performances fail to add sparkle to the tired plot",[4] while myreviewer.com wrote, "whilst you won’t laugh aloud, it’ll certainly raise a warm smile. It’s also a great little time-capsule to what looks and feels like a completely different world."[5]

gollark: Oh, cool spinoff idea, real world adblockers using selectively opaque-able glasses and computer vision.
gollark: You'd probably have to block visual input, too, hmmm...
gollark: But imagine if advancing technology allowed us to avoid all spoilers ever of any kind anywhere!
gollark: Anyway, you could *probably* work out some sort of system to filter out news-y things on the internet, but of course COVID-19 is quite wideranging so some would likely slip through. And for real life communication you would probably have to... what, block out parts of conversation with constantly on headphone things and dynamically generate replacements? Hard.
gollark: I think they do have somewhat less international travel than the UK does, but yes.
