Goofs:

Continuity: At the scene where Brett goes to Archie's place to tell him that someone was reading her book she meets a girl who was having an affair with Archie. We see the braces of the shirt the girl was wearing slipped down when she was just leaving. But as she was talking to Bretty the braces are fine, not slipped down.

Quotes:

Nurse: Just a minute miss, sorry to bug you. But your father hasn't filled out his dinner menu yet. Would you mind?
Brett Eisenberg: He's not my father.
Nurse: Excuse me?
Brett Eisenberg: I said he's not my father. He's my boyfriend. I have sex with him!
Nurse: Either way he eats, right?
[Brett walks into the hospital room, pulls back the curtain, and we see Archie in bed]
Archie Knox: [using a high pitch, mimicking voice] He's my boyfriend. I have sex with him!

A Gorgeous-Looking, Straight to Video Romantic Drama

The oddly named movie about a book editor is lavishly portrayed in this brilliantly colorful movie that has splashes of dazzling array of photographic hues and tones that make many scenes picture-book snapshots. Overall, this romantic drama is a coming of age movie about a young lady who falls for the older man. Along the way Sarah Michelle's character must confront her own family issues as well as the complications of relationships as professional office politics. This is sort of a Devil's Wears Prada (2006) junior version of the book world. A predictable, but entertaining movie, nice to look at, with a few improvements on the older stuff. Seven out of Ten Stars.
