Reece Dinsdale plays Mike, the protagonist of the film, a Nottingham-based computer software designer.

His wit and charm make Mike an endearing and engaging character, despite the calamitous romantic situations he often finds himself in. Dinsdale's splendid performance paints Mike as a complex character who evokes sympathy and laughter in the viewers throughout the film.

Paired opposite Reece is the strikingly beautiful Victoria Smurfit, who plays Fiona, Mike's ex-girlfriend.

Bellar shines as this bubbly character, offering a new perspective on love and relationships that challenges Mike's irrational fear of rejection. Isabelle is depicted as charmingly blunt and honest, a stark contrast to the deception and drama that has plagued Mike's past relationships. Through Bellar's performance, Isabelle's vivacious and loving nature endears her to the audience, as much as to Mike.
