Veronica from Riverdale (Camila Mendes) plays Ana, an art auction intern under an intense art director (Marisa Tomei). After impressing Tomei, she’s given the chance to go to London to help with a big auction. She meets a handsome stranger on a plane and doesn’t correct said handsome stranger when he gets the impression that she’s actually the art director. Of course, the lie follows her and you keep watching to see just how she’s going to get out of it. It was a fresh take on a classic movie premise: living a lie to have the life you want. All in all, I did enjoy this one. It was creative, not completely predictable, and pretty funny. Mendes does a good job playing a leading lady not in high school!

Rating: 3.5/5
