Head Over Heels

Read Time:1 Minute, 20 Second

You’d think that living

with four models—who are constantly dressed in evening gowns and are always surrounded by

rich guys who will buy them anything just for a chance to be in the same room—would be a

bit… disconcerting. But Amanda Pierce (Monica Potter) doesn’t mind. All she wants is to

move on with her life, forget about men (one of whom she just caught cheating on her),

and throw herself into her work (restoring paintings at the Met).



Things

change, however, when she meets Jim (Freddie Prinze, Jr.), the gorgeous fashion exec who

lives in the next building. Amanda and her roommates spend hours spying on him—watching

as he baby-sits, buys candy from schoolgirls, and does chin-ups—until they decide to get

Amanda closer to him by crashing a party at his place.



Amanda finally gets

Jim’s attention—and gets him to ask her out. But after she returns home, she sees what

looks like a murder—one that Jim committed in his apartment. So before going on a date

with a killer, Amanda—along with her evening-gown-clad roommates—go

undercover.



Head Over Heels is definitely high on my Guilty

Pleasure scale. It’s a cheesy, sappy, goofy movie filled with clichés and anorexic

supermodels doing undercover surveillance in heels, and I loved it. In fact, I was

watching it alone, and it still made me laugh out loud. It’s a good thing I got a

five-night rental—that meant I was able to watch it once or twice more before returning

it.

She’s also a proud member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (CriticsChoice.com), the Central Ohio Film Critics Association (COFCA.org), the Online Film Critics Society (OFCS.org), and the Women Film Critics Circle (WFCC.Wordpress.com).
