Niklas is being talked to in German by someone unseen at the start of the movie and later lands in New York. Leticia(Nicole Beharie) is singing and playing a piano in her apartment, while composing a song. Next scene and good looking Nik is in his power suit sitting in a board room, telling a small group of American workers that they are being laid off due to downsizing. He walks into a coffee shop and guess who is sitting next to him; the beautiful, everybody calls me Tish, and she hands him a cd of her music.
The good German tracks her down and asks for a date. At first she says no, but with his persistence, has lunch with him. They go back to her apartment and she sings for him and it is magic. They kiss and almost get it on, but she is a Christian girl and can't do it on the first date. Meanwhile the aspiring singer finds out that Niklas is the one who is responsible for her losing her job. Nik offers to fly her to Europe and set her up with a friend in the music business, but she just loves Brooklyn. A side story with her pastor father is also thrown into the mix.
This is a routine and predictable romantic comedy which just breezes along. Nicole Beharie is gorgeous and has a good voice with decent songs. Her talent deserves better material.
