Maybe I waited too long to watch this for the first time, but I just never warmed up to Richard Gere's Edward.
I do love the hotel manager being Joe from Princess Diaries though, so I'm going to consider this his prequel.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A modern Cinderella fantasy that's both sincere and knowing about its own indulgences, watching two people from opposite worlds discover genuine connection amid designer clothes and penthouse dinners. It's charming escapism that takes its emotional core seriously despite the glossy surface.
