The guy with the dynamite heart meets the girl with the firecracker eyes!

ComedyRomance

Rip Smith's opinion-poll business is a failure...until he discovers that the small town of Grandview is statistically identical to the entire country. He and his assistants go there to run polls cheaply and easily, in total secrecy (it would be fatal to let the townsfolk get self-conscious). And of course, civic crusader Mary Peterman must be kept from changing things too much. But romantic involvement with Mary complicates life for Rip; then suddenly everything changes.

VIBE

A gentle, witty charmer that feels like a warm hug from a bygone era. It’s a story about community and connection, wrapped in a classic Hollywood romance with a touch of playful deception. Perfect for a cozy, feel-good watch.
