The advertisements for this make it appear that there will be something wrong with the experience or wacky, which is why I ignored it most of the times I was looking for something. However, it is sort of a typical romance movie. As stated Nancy is very frustrated with poor blind dates she has been on and her family harping on the fact she is single at 34. On a train to her parents anniversary party she meets a woman who is about to go on a blind date. Via a series of mistakes Nancy ends up being mistaken for the blind date and after a minute of her date talking to her... decides to go with it. The rest of the movie is that very long date over one 6 hour or so period. Ultimately this worked because of Pegg and Bell. Both seemed like genuinely likable people who could fall for each other based on having lots in common. The good was that there were several funny / adorable moments for the couple... the bad news was that there wasn't any UST or real indication of attraction.
