The Plot: A Tasty Rivalry
In *Double Scoop*, we meet Nora (Taylor Cole), who’s left her rising-star gig at H Company to launch her own advertising startup. She’s teamed up with her former VP, Alexandra (Elisa Donovan), and while she loves her new work-life balance, there’s still that pressure to keep the business afloat.
Meanwhile, back at H Company, Everett (Patrick Muldoon) is the classic work-obsessed boss. He pits his top employees, James (Ryan McPartlin) and Lavery (Jakeem Hawkins), against each other for a VP spot—whoever lands the next big account wins.
The Ice Cream Connection
Nora’s lightbulb moment hits after dinner with her best friend, Shannon (Jacklyn Collier). She tries an ice cream brand so good, she decides to chase Darlington Ice Cream as her next client.
Turns out, James has the exact same idea. The two rivals bump into each other on the streets of New York, and next thing you know, they’re both in Greenwood, Wisconsin, vying for the attention of the sweet Darlington couple, Ann Marie (Chonda Pierce) and Matthew (Tim Abell).
Characters to Root For
Honestly, one of the best things about *Double Scoop* is its cast. Taylor Cole and Ryan McPartlin bring real charm and chemistry, so watching their characters go from rivals to something more is genuinely fun.
The supporting cast doesn’t disappoint, either. The Darlingtons and their granddaughter Josie (Sofia Shakarian) add a layer of warmth that makes the whole thing feel lived-in.
Performance Highlights
Cole and McPartlin keep things lively with quick banter and some surprisingly heartfelt moments. Their chemistry feels real, not forced.
Chonda Pierce and Tim Abell as the Darlingtons are a particular highlight. Their performances make the small-town setting feel authentic and just a bit quirky.
A Visual Delight
*Double Scoop* isn’t just sweet in story—it’s a visual treat, too. There are gorgeous shots of farmland, some very photogenic cows, and the kind of small-town scenery that makes you want to pack up and move there.
The sets and props are spot-on, especially the ice cream scenes. Honestly, you might end up craving a sundae before the credits roll.
Engaging Pacing
The pacing here works. The movie keeps things moving without dragging its feet.
No scenes feel out of place or like filler. It’s easy to watch, breezy, and fits the whole summer vibe.
Heartfelt Storytelling
Sure, it follows the usual Hallmark formula, but *Double Scoop* brings enough heart and personality to stand out. The predictability is more comforting than boring, and sometimes, that’s exactly what you want from a rom-com.
Memorable Moments
There are plenty of moments that’ll stick with you—corny cow jokes, sweet exchanges, and that small-town charm. Lines like *You don’t see this in the city!* pop up, and yes, there are cow jokes: *What do cows do for fun? They go to the moo-vies!* (Hey, I laughed.)
Stream It or Skip It?
Our take? Stream It! *Double Scoop* is like a classic ice cream flavor—simple, sweet, and honestly pretty hard not to like.
If you’re looking for something light and easy, especially when it’s sweltering outside, this rom-com’s got you covered. Grab a pint, settle in, and let Greenwood, Wisconsin pull you in for a little while.
