A loopy, endearing little romantic comedy
from down under, Paperback Romance has, um, interesting
production values and not a familiar face in the cast. There's
nothing very weighty here, but the story of a pretty, handicapped
romance writer (she conveniently composes her smutty stories aloud)
who pretends to have been injured in a skiing accident in order
to nab Prince Charming has a ridiculous but undeniable charm.
Like While You Were Sleeping or even Funny Face,
Paperback Romance does a fine job of conflating absurdity with
romance. Bring a date.
