Better Than The Movies

Perpetual daydreamer Liz Buxbaum has been in love with her cool, aloof crush, Michael, for as long as she can can remember, but she has never truly been on his radar. Now that he has moved back to town, Liz is determined to secure him as her prom date, even if it means befriending her insufferable next-door neighbor, Wes Bennet. Despite his annoying habit of pulling pranks involving frogs and decapitated lawn gnomes, Wes has managed to hit it off with Michael, making him Liz’s only way in.

As Liz and Wes team up to orchestrate a romantic-comedy-worthy scheme to get Michael’s attention, Liz is shocked to find that she actually enjoys Wes’s company. The more time they spend together, the more she is forced to reexamine her long-held fantasies about love and what a "happily ever after" truly looks like. Ultimately, Liz must decide if the boy she’s always wanted is any match for the one who has been right next door all along.
