A teen romcom, this film has Zoey Miller (Josephine Langford), a super smart computer major, also regarded as a brainiac nerd, student at Queens University in Charlotte, who has created an app for matching couples through statistical data, uninterested in romantic love. The over-analytical left-brainer believes only in compatibility as defined by shared interests. Her matchmaking app facilitates such pairings, but her peers and bestie, flatmate Elle (Mallori Johnson) are unimpressed. Zoey’s life gets turned upside down when Zack (Drew Starkey), the school’s soccer jock, gets amnesia and mistakes Zoey for his girlfriend.

It’s a hopelessly contrived set-up reminding one of ‘While You Were Sleeping’ - but of course , this one’s happening while he is wide awake! Scriptwriter Matthew Tabak hasn’t made much effort to percolate the predicaments or keep the romantic contretemps uniquely engaging.
