” — Netflix’s visually vibrant, cinema-loving, if not quite perfect, rom-com — her professional and romantic plummet is documented in opening credits that cleverly use an animated collage to relate her story.
Darcy, flanked by her two matching assistants, wants Jenna and Eric to work together on a campaign. He’s a budding filmmaker, with an MFA from USC.

From the outset, she courts lovers of romantic movies from an earlier era using a throwback playlist and a buoyant score intended to inject hope into the presumptive couple’s challenges. Billie Holiday and Louis Armstrong sing “You Can’t Lose a Broken Heart.” Nat King Cole’s “Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup” plays gently when Jenna and Eric meet more than cute.
