I actually liked it

Rating: 5/10 (7 March 2004)

Now here's one silly, formulaic romantic comedy I actually... like! Violet is a waitress with ambitions to make it in the big city (NY this time) as a singer-songwriter (what else really :). The movie follows all the necessary steps (work sucks at first, meets boyfriend, work's getting better, boyfriend is great, breakdown at work, break-up with boyfriend, thinking about returning, chat with dad that she has to stay to make it, finally makes up with boyfriend and makes it in music industry). Now, we've all seen it before (showgirls comes to mind), but it's carried out really good in this movie. Perabo is perfectly cast as innocent but sexy star, Garcia is good as boyfriend and Goodman is perfect as dad and comic relief. Not a brilliant movie, but just fun to watch and pretty flawless. 7/10, which is high for the genre.
