    It was love at first sight for two outgoing romantics. Years later, a chance encounter while on family vacations forces the unrequited soul mates to face the same decision: Continue their comfortable but unfulfilling lives or risk everything for a chance at complete happiness?

    Thanks for the links to "Before" trilogy descriptions. I think (like dpg also mentioned) that there are parallels. At least (just judging by the descriptions) the first two.

    Thanks for the links to “Before” trilogy descriptions. I think (like dpg also mentioned) that there are parallels. At least (just judging by the descriptions) the first two.

    I haven’t seen these movies (clearly I need to, in fact the second film was on my “watch next” list) but I think one of the key differences is that the meet-up that I’m envisioning is random (neither party expected to run into the other) where as in Before it sounds like Celine goes to Jesse’s reading, which I think changes the motivation of Celine at least.

    One of the things I think I need to make more clear in the logline is that my intent is to have a more humorous tone than Before series (or at least the tone I get from the description of Before) more like a traditional romantic comedy.

    The protagonists are the two unrequited, outgoing romantics. The goal is happiness/fulfillment, but that requires breaking away from their existing (comfortable, but unfulfilling) lives (ending their marriages, hurting their families, etc... <- I guess those would be the stakes as well)

    It?s unexpected "love at first sight" for two outgoing romantics, but despite their mutually acknowledged connection the two unrequited soul mates stand by their current plans and relationships, living the ups and downs of their separate lives, challenged by what might have been, and what, years later, just might be.

    dpg: Thanks so much for the feedback. After reading your comments (and a bit of sulking) I realized that you were right, I had a very vague log line. It was because I was trying to cover way too much story rather than sticking to a more traditional romantic comedy format. Anyway I rewrote the log liRead more
