Director : Steven Brill
Running Time : 94 mins
Meghan Miles (Banks) works as a reporter at a local television station, so when she is offered an interview to work at a network station she is very excited, until she hears that the network are looking at someone else for the role. She decides to get drunk with her friends and ends up staying the night with Gordon (Marsden), a guy she’s just met. The next morning she receives a call asking her in for an interview but her car has been towed and she ends up wandering the streets trying to get to the station.
It’s surprising that this didn’t get a release in the UK as it is a lot of fun. Banks plays the lost and confused reporter wonderfully, and all the cases of mistaken identity, ranging from people thinking she’s a hooker to a drug dealer, are actually played quite well, albeit in a slapstick tongue in cheek fashion. Some might mind the movie a little sexist, especially as Banks gets offered the job because the network think she isn’t squeaky clean anymore, but if you can get by all the sexist undertones (let’s be fair, they’re the bedrock of the movie) then you might find this a fun poke at how women are viewed by the media.
