Picture Perfect (1997)

An advertising executive doesn't get promoted because she is single (her boss thinks people with attachments are less likely to move to rival companies). A work colleague tries to help her by spreading the news that she became engaged to a guy she appears with in a photo.

Watchable romantic comedy which is not actually very romantic, and isn't exactly funny. It is in fact a bit more amoral than the average Hollywood stuff, which is not necessarily a bad thing in itself. I guess it does not accurately portray the corporate environment, although there is a certain logic to the ideas and behaviors depicted. Not an unpleasant film, but not likely to grab you by the balls, either (sorry for the expression, lady readers, and ball-less male ones).

Rating: 46
