The plot: Movie star Olivia faces a PR disaster when a paparazzi snaps a photo of her with her married lover, Vincent. The hard-working valet Antonio accidentally appears in the same photo and is enlisted to pose as Olivia’s new boyfriend as a cover up.
I was waiting to finally sit-down to watch this film.
This film was Really Good.
Pros: This film tail the balance both being very romantic, heartfelt and mix with comedy. Olivia and Antonio make an adorable combination. I did smile throughout this film and I learn that “You can fall in Love with who ever, If ever it’s someone famous or Norman”.
Cons: There was typical romantic arguing that didn’t mean to do there. I didn’t get why Kathryn was with Vincent at all & I was say they didn’t look up with her.
