One Small Hitch is a 2012 romantic comedy film directed by John Burgess and written by Dode B. Levenson. Shane McRae stars as Josh Shiffman, who learns that his father is dying and his only regret is that he will not get to meet the woman who will one day become his son's wife. Desperate to fulfill his dad's final wish, Josh claims that he already met that woman, Molly Mahoney, who is played by Aubrey Dollar.
Family friends Josh Shiffman and Molly Mahoney play fiancée, but as they plan their phony wedding, the two of them start to fall in love for real.
Molly Mahoney is going home for her mother's wedding, and is bringing her boyfriend to meet her family. Knowing they will be skeptical of him if she tells them he's in a band, she doesn't tell them anything about him, including his name. En route to the airport she discovers he's married and breaks up with him. At the airport, Molly meets up with Josh Shiffman, her brother's playboy best friend from childhood, as he is also flying from LA to Chicago for the wedding.
While waiting at the airport with Molly, Josh receives a call from his parents and learns that his dad, Max, is expected to die of cancer in the next 6 months. His father says that his only regret is not seeing the woman his son would marry. Josh, in a moment of panic, says that it is Molly. She agrees to play along for the weekend.
At Molly's mother's wedding, Josh gives Molly his grandmother's ring. Also at the wedding, Josh reconnects with a former flame, Giselle Brousard. After telling her the truth about the fake engagement, they begin a friends with benefits relationship. While Molly says the relationship isn't a problem, she eventually begins to feel jealous of Giselle.
Josh's parents ask Josh and Molly to stay longer to help with Josh's family's framing shop, as Max's health is failing. They agree, and the family starts to plan the wedding. Josh continues to see Giselle, and Molly dates other men.
One night, Josh is with his dad who asks him if he's happy with Molly, stating that being truly in love means you can be yourself with the other person. Josh replies that he is more comfortable with Molly than anyone else he knows. The same night, Molly attends her surprise bachelorette party and is asked questions about how she and Josh got together. Molly responds by describing him as one she could spend the rest of her life with. Josh overhears this and walks away in confusion before he is discovered.
That night, they have sex. The next day, as they jokingly register for their wedding, Josh and Molly run into Gisele. Josh and Gisele flirt and Molly is upset.
Later, in front of their parents, Molly ends the engagement, saying she can't do this anymore. Josh chases after her and she admits that she loves him, returns his grandmothers ring and leaves. Josh ends the "benefits" part of his relationship with Gisele and confesses he may love Molly. Giselle advises him to follow his heart.
