    Teen heart-throb Freddie Prinze Jr co-stars here with Con Air's Monica Potter in a romantic comedy that starts off amusingly but swiftly sinks into mediocrity. Potter plays an unlucky-in-love art curator who moves into a luxury New York flat with four supermodels. It's not long before she then falls for neighbour Prinze Jr, that is until she sees him apparently club someone to death. Misunderstandings and nods to Rear Window run roughshod through what is left of a plot which also conspires to put the models in a locked bathroom when the toilet explodes. Shame such a promising start descends to the level of a bad Carry On film.

    Big Fat Pile Of Pants!

    I was expecting a funny, charming and endearing chick flick, but what I got was a complete pile of dribble. The acting very wooden, and the plot was terrible. Even casting Freddie Prince Jnr as the love interest doesn't save this film. The only mild amusement came from the clumsy Australian girl.

    I would strongly advise anyone to bypass the film, and spend their time watching paint dry instead, you'll find it more enjoyable.

    Head over Heels for Freddie Prinze Jr.

    Freddie Prinze Jr is as gorgeous as ever, just as good in this as he was in She's all that and Boys and Girls. I thought the movie was good, just don't expect too much, other than some dizzy models, light and fun entertainment. I think it's worth watching.

    Chick Flick

    My boyfriend didn't really enjoy this film, but I really liked it. Freddie Prince charming a lady is always a must see for me! The females in this film are quite witty and it has a very light hearted appraoch through out.

    Easy veiwing

    Nice easy veiwing for if you just want a laugh, this film has got some good physical comedy along with some funny one liners. I personally loved the three old women that work with the the main star (amanda). It's worth watching but definatley not the funniest thing 've seen. Freddie Prinze Jr just seems to be the same character in every film i've seen him in so far. Three stars for head over heels. . . . Enjoy!.

    What's it all about

    Generally a very predictable love story very light and easy viewing. Thought language a bit strong for children under 15. Suitable for a girly night.

    head over heels

    A very silly film, the acting, especially from Freddie prince Jr is not great and the plot is ridiculous. Despite all the flaws i actually really enjoyed it, if you are in the mood for silly that tries to pass itself of as rom-com then you will love it, if not stay clear..
