A hyperactive and high-fashion American transplant living in London
and working for Vogue magazine does her best to enhance the lives of
those around her while remaining blissfully unaware of the man who
longs to profess his true love to her in an ultra-modern romantic
comedy. Emily Jackson (Brittany Murphy) lives a charmed life. Always
on the go in her Mini Cooper and able to talk until the sun comes up
and then some, her fast-paced lifestyle belies a sensitive soul who
takes great joy in playing matchmaker for her many friends. It's
Emily's roommate and constant companion, Peter (Matthew Rhys), who
usually becomes the subject of the quirky Cupid's frequent pairings,
and when handsome new photographer's assistant Paolo (Santiago
Cabrera) arrives at the Vogue offices, Emily makes it her mission to
bring the two together. Emily is so busy arranging a love connection
between them that she remains completely blind to the obvious torch
carried for her by the one suitor who longs to provide her with the
loving companionship that she so cheerfully arranges for others.
