It is rather hard to reinvent the triumph of a woman. Start: a determined, but faulted, woman. Give her the opportunity to prove something. Enter male love interest. Struggle, struggle, struggle. Exit male love interest. Triumph! Male love interest returns. End. While the movie didn’t veer from the formula, it did put it in a new setting: a TV studio. And add socially awkward as the fault, rather than an underutilized brain (Elle Woods?) I don’t fault the unoriginality; if it ain’t broke…
Verdict: Only when you’re in the mood (Rent)
