Tue, Feb 11, 2014

24 year old bartender Dave meets Cara, the woman of his dreams - but finds she's 15 years older, and lives with her three kids and a scary mother-in-law. Dave is a bartender with a bit of a reputation as a heartbreaker. Cara is there on a blind date. When her date goes wrong, Cara ends up locked in the women's bathroom. She falls out of the bathroom window, and lands in the arms of Dave, who is hiding outside from a jilted ex. Dave plays the gentleman and takes Cara to the A and E, where over four hours they form a bond. But Cara is reluctant to take things further - she's aware there's something she hasn't mentioned to Dave. Later though, Dave and Cara spend the night together - but their passion is interrupted by the arrival of Marion, Scarlett, Jasmine and Logan - Cara's mother-in-law, daughters (16 and 13) and son (7). This is the thing Cara had not mentioned to Dave. Things get worse when she discovers he's only 24 - he wasn't even born in the 80s. - and he is shocked to learn that she is 39. Both agree that this relationship is not going to happen. But then, Dave and Cara can't stop thinking about each other. So maybe, love can beat the odds.
