“Roxanne dreamed of a handsome, intelligent, romantic man. C.D. Bales is two out of three—but looks aren't everything.”

ComedyRomance

In this modern take on Edmond Rostand's classic play "Cyrano de Bergerac," C. D. Bales is the witty, intelligent, and brave fire chief of a small Pacific Northwest town who, due to the size of his enormous nose, declines to pursue the girl of his dreams, lovely Roxanne Kowalski. Instead, when his shy underling Chris McConnell becomes smitten with Roxanne, C.D. feeds the handsome young man the words of love to win her heart.

VIBE

This film is a delightful blend of sharp wit and tender romance, wrapped in a charming small-town setting. It feels like a warm hug, exploring the complexities of love, appearance, and self-worth with a gentle, humorous touch. Expect heartwarming moments and clever dialogue.
