Perfect Pairing (2022)

I had been watching a string of intense movies while my spouse was on call and then, quite suddenly, had had enough, and did a 180 degree turn to light and fluffy romantic comedies, of which this is one. If you are looking for something that is not memorable, doesn't make you think too hard, and enjoyably passes the time, this delivers on every count. Lola works for an LA wine importer--she is energetic, passionate about her product, and creative--which is rewarded at work, but her boss is a narcisitic misogynist. She rage quits her job after a co-worker steals her idea, and, here is where it goes off the rails a bit--she decides that the way to snag an Australian account is to stalk the owner while she is off for a month at the family sheep farm. The scenery is gorgeous, and everything else is unobjectionable, which is high praise for this sort of confection. Streaming on Netflix.
