A classic showbiz romance updated for today (or 2014, but close enough), with Gugu Mbatha-Raw as an R&B/pop sensation trapped by fame and Nate Parker as the charming security guard/would-be politician who first saves her life and then steals her heart. This is soap opera making at its best, with an extended sequence at a seaside hideaway that might make you pause and head for Travelocity. One of the better romance movies to watch on Hulu.
