Set in Britain, Maddy is entering middle age, insecure, lonely and stuck in a dead end job. She is a cinema buff in love with her teen-age-fantasy movie star idol. She meets David, the awkward and not-so-attractive neighbor and strikes up a friendship which seems to be heading for a more serious relationship but family crises and work situations cause problems. This is Cinderella (played by Adele) and The Frog Prince (maybe Brad Pitt) and Nine to Five... I really liked the story but could have done without quite so much explicit sex. Granted, the kinky sex was limited to only a couple of scenes and did seem to be part of the storyline, not just an opportunity to add salacious details.
