Fast-paced, lighthearted comedy ...

If you're looking for a pleasant, upbeat innocent romantic comedy - this will fit the bill. The tone, dialog, goof-ball misinterpretations and even rich colors are reminiscent of a 1950s styling. But it's an updated version too. For instance, we see Brittany Murphy rolling around multiple times virtually nude (won't have seen that 50 years ago!), we have her surrounding herself with gay men (who are also looking for love) - and to boot, she shares a room with a gay man.

This is a fun movie and something is always happening. Murphy plays an "assistant" at a fashion magazine and tries to play matchmaker for her gay roommate. What she doesn't know is that one of the potential beaus is actually straight and really interested in her ... and the story progresses from there.

Brittany Murphy is at the center (with her hair dyed black and a distinctive, glamorous Spanish image). She puts in a strong performance as a kind-hearted but romantically averse do-gooder. There are more than a few laugh-out loud moments, which makes a wonderfully watchable movie.
