Champagne Problems
Following your basic setup of a career woman finding the perfect guy in an unexpected place (which just happens to be the most romantic city on the planet), at Christmas no less, Minka Kelly stars as an executive sent to Paris to acquire a renowned champagne brand only to fall a dreamy guy (Tom Wozniczka) in a magical French bookstore who turns out to be the founder's (Thibault de Montalembert) son. While not making googly-eyes, Sydney (Kelly) works to out-sell the other competitors (Sean Amsing, Flula Borg, and Astrid Whettnall).
Minka Kelly is easy to root for, not that there's ever any possibility of things not turning out well for Sydney. Even if the character is still is too good to be true, almost immediately making everyone's life more magical (even to dog loves her more than its owners), I'll give the filmmakers credit for casting a an age-appropriate actress for the role allowing us to buy inton Sydney's career and life experience.
Champagne Problems is charming in a completely unbelievable sort of way with over-the-top supporting characters and a pair of leads working through the kinds of cute problems, which the movie is named after, that you would expect to find in a holiday romcom, including your classic overheard conversation destined to be misunderstood. However, everything will, of course, be solved in time for Christmas.
