A cynical architect finds her life transformed into a whimsical, satirical romantic comedy, complete with broad humor.
Campy and feel-good, with dry wit. A date-night pick at a brisk pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.

No surprises for a PG-13: some innuendo or implied sex and some strong language.
Our estimate: fine from about 13. Rated PG-13.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.

But after thwarting a mugger at a subway station only to be knocked out while fleeing, Natalie wakes up and discovers that her life has suddenly become her worst nightmare—a romantic comedy—and she is the leading lady.
Yes. It lands on a happy note.
