Picture Perfect - review

As an advertising executive Kate’s dream is to land a big campaign, but she also has another ambition – to be in love – an ambition which is also shared by her mother who really wants to see her daughter settled.

While she’s happily flirting and sleeping with a colleague at work, Kate’s aware he has no romantic interests in her and only wants to see her on his terms.

At a friend’s wedding Kate discovers she’s the only single woman and therefore is given the bride’s bouquet instead of having to fight for it, but she also meets Nic, a wedding film maker who is also young and single.

Back at work when an idea Kate came up with is accepted by her boss she naturally expects to be on the team for the campaign, so she’s shocked when she’s told that because she’s young and un-married he doesn’t want to give her a chance at the big time as she has no commitment to the company. But her friend Darcy has a plan, in an attempt to secure Kate the promotion she tells everyone that Kate and Nic are engaged and are planning to live together.

While Kate is annoyed at Darcy’s plan she is also happy to go along with it when she is given the promotion, but she faces trouble when her pretend fiancée is featured on the news after rescuing people from a burning building.

With her colleagues all assuming she’s engaged to the new hero, Kate has to think fast and reaches out to Nic in the hope that he will pretend to be engaged to her so she can keep her job, but as they both play along Nic starts to develop feelings for Kate and tries to convince her he’s no longer pretending, but will she allow herself to fall for him too and risk her job?

Starring Jennifer Anniston, Jay Mohr & Kevin Bacon, this movie was a typical predictable rom-com, but despite that, I enjoyed it and would watch it again.
