Putt for Love

Evelyn Ward, a meticulous museum conservator who color-codes her tea collection, is stunned to inherit her eccentric aunt’s failing miniature golf course on the outskirts of Milwaukee: Heartbreak Hills, a bizarre roadside attraction where every hole reenacts a legendary romantic disaster. Facing bankruptcy and pressure from developers eager to bulldoze the property into luxury condos, Evelyn plans to sell immediately—until she meets Noah Rivera, a quick-witted divorce lawyer whose clients have treated the course like emotional rehab for years. Noah convinces her they can revive the place with themed tournaments, breakup therapy nights, and aggressively ridiculous attractions like the “Tunnel of Passive Aggression.”

As Evelyn and Noah renovate the course together, their clashing personalities become the town’s favorite spectator sport. Evelyn wants tasteful restoration; Noah installs animatronic ex-boyfriends that heckle players. Their accidental chemistry grows during chaotic promotional events, including a disastrous couples tournament, a viral proposal gone wrong, and a city inspection involving a swan loose in the windmill hole. But when a major investor offers Evelyn a lucrative deal to franchise Heartbreak Hills into a sanitized corporate brand, Noah discovers she secretly considered taking it—and feels like he’s become another temporary project in her carefully managed life.

After the investor transforms the course into a soulless prototype that immediately alienates the town, Evelyn realizes Heartbreak Hills worked because it embraced imperfection, messiness, and second chances. She sabotages the launch in spectacular fashion by hijacking the opening tournament and restoring the original handmade obstacles overnight with help from the town’s loyal regulars. Noah arrives expecting another argument but instead finds Evelyn publicly admitting she’s terrified of loving someone she can’t control. During a rain-soaked final round beneath flickering neon hearts, the two reconcile, kiss beside the ridiculous volcano hole, and reopen Heartbreak Hills as a joyful monument to romantic disasters—and surviving them.

Cinematic romantic comedy poster set at a quirky neon-lit miniature golf course at dusk. In the foreground, Evelyn — a stylish woman in her mid-30s with auburn hair in a loose bun, vintage green blazer, paint-speckled jeans, holding a golf club and rolled blueprints — stands back-to-back with Noah, a charismatic Latino man in his late 30s wearing a loosened tie, rolled sleeves, and a mischievous grin while holding a putter like a microphone. Around them are absurd mini-golf obstacles: a collapsing wedding chapel windmill, giant neon broken hearts, animatronic swans, and a volcano spraying pink sparks. Warm carnival lighting reflects off wet pavement after rain. Color palette mixes saturated reds, teal neon, golden string lights, and pastel retro signage. Mood is playful, romantic, slightly chaotic. Visual style combines glossy modern rom-com energy with whimsical Wes Anderson-inspired production design and sharp cinematic lighting.
