Rueben's Ramblings

On February 19, the E! original movie Why Can’t My Life Be a Rom-Com? will debut at 9 PM

Eliza (Em Haine) is smart and independent, but after years of bad boyfriends she finds herself newly single, jobless and questioning all of her decisions. Throwing caution to the wind, Eliza follows best friend Sofia (Cecilia Deacon) to the Hamptons and decides to change her approach to romance. They’re going to follow the rules of dating from a 50-year-old self-help book.

The book seemingly works and Eliza finds herself in the center of a love triangle between Rich (Markian Tarasiuk), a perfect doctor, and Doug (Wern Lee), the towel boy at a Hampton’s hotel. Torn between two very different but equally viable suitors, Eliza realizes that deep at heart, she’s really a 1980s John Hughes heroine.

It’s a week away from Valentine’s Day and Olivia (Kathryn Davis) loses both her boyfriend and her job in the same week. Her sister Vanessa, who still lives in their hometown in Nebraska, convinces Olivia to come back home for an extended trip and help get her back on her feet. Olivia’s roommate in New York has a friend, George (Markian Tarasiuk), who’s driving out to Los Angeles and agrees to take Olivia to her destination – which is exactly halfway between New York and California – in exchange for a free night’s stay in her hometown. Olivia, low on cash after her layoff, agrees to take turns driving so he can get to Los Angeles in less than five days.

The two strangers set out on the open road, both on their way to being who they think they’re supposed to be. When George’s car breaks down mere miles from Olivia’s hometown, he has to stay a few more days in Valentine, Nebraska with Olivia and her sister.
