“But I do adore him, she added. “He's just a really good person and we became genuine friends. We have kids the same age and it’s a really nice thing to be able to say, ‘He's someone I'm happy to have in my life.’ It's nice to come off a film and feel like you've made a real friend.”
In the film, Reeser (pictured at top and below with Blucas) plays Tyler Dawson, a recently divorced (and recently unemployed) San Francisco-based sous chef. Along with her daughter Rosie (Lola Flanery), she returns home to Red Rock, Texas, to re-evaluate her life and spend time with her mom. Unbeknownst to her, successful celebrity chef and Tyler’s former boyfriend Corey Turner (Blucas) is also in town to host the annual BBQ festival. As college sweethearts, the two believed they would be “together forever” but the passage of time, and their careers, took them in different directions. Faced with the possibility of rekindling old flames, or continuing the successful career paths they’ve forged, the two have some serious life choices to make.
