Just when Amanda and her protective supermodel roommates are convinced that Jim is really perfect, Amanda thinks she sees him kill a woman. The plot might not be much, but the details are what make this film so much fun. The love story between Amanda and Jim is sweet and silly, but relatively minor, as is the mystery and suspense about who Jim really is and what he really does. This life is extremely fantastical and incredibly funny. The models, played with glee and conviction by Shalom Harlow, Ivana Milicevic, Sarah O Hare, and Tomiko Fraser, never wear anything but beautiful clothes, never pay for anything, and parade around in their apartment topless, dancing to disco music.
Life is one huge runway even when tracking a possible murderer.
There are of course some flaws. I could do without the bowel movement jokes, although the teens behind me found these two scenes hilarious. This scene probably should have been cut or at least the director should have used a body double. It s a little distracting to have five women cooing over a man s huge muscles when he has none. These minor complaints aside, Head Over Heels is a cute diversion from the real world and well worth the price of admission.
