The astronomy professor Celeste stays on campus over Christmas and sets her sights on participating in the annual quiz competition. When the team’s star player and also Celeste’s romantic interest drops out at the last minute, it so happens that the university’s new football coach, Max, steps in to join the team. This greatly annoys Celeste, as she dislikes sports and has no confidence that he can help the team. The quiz competition begins, and they face tough competition from a team of young contestants. Celeste focuses on preparing for the quiz as much as possible, while Max prefers to focus on team spirit.
This is a romantic story that delivers what it should without any surprises. It might teeter on the edge of a three, but it still ended up being a four.
