You’re So Fine

Lacey Clark’s Hollywood résumé was a string of bad movies and
two former boyfriends. A loner since her
mom and stepfather never had time for her, Lacey surprisingly adopts Henry. Knowing her failed time in Southern
California is over, Lacey, accompanied by five years old Henry, moves into the
lighthouse in Indigo Beach, South Carolina that her recent ex Callum leased for
six weeks while he and her former boss are filming on location.
Superstar actor Beau Wilder has performed in several successful
romantic comedies. However, when his
contract requires him to act in an indie, Beau expects several weeks of artsy
torture. Thus he temporarily leaves Los
Angeles to reside in a lighthouse in Indigo Beach, South Carolina that he
traded Laker tickets for with Callum.
Beau and Lacey are attracted to each other and he likes the child, but
knows they deserve much more than he can offer them. As he falls in love with mother and son, Beau
gives them as much as he can. However,
morally his equal, Lacey accepts since she is a purebred GRITS while her
beloved may be a product of the south but belongs in SOCAL; she must send him
back to the other coast.
This pleasant romantic screwball comedy contains a serious
element involving relationship phobia as the two adult leads have bad
histories. Like those madcap 1930s
films, You're So Fine is over the top (of the lighthouse), but also flows with zany
southern charm starring a Hollywood superheavyweight and a single mom whose most
memorable film role was in Biker Aliens.
