    • Goofs
      During the abseiling party (which almost no one in America would call it), they are rapelling on ATCs which require one hand below the device to brake the rapeller. Yet E.J. is shown holding onto the ropes above the device with both hands when she panics yet she is staying in place (and there is no bottom belay as shown when she does get down).

      Will Albrecht: Well, Ms. Baxter.

      E.J. Baxter: Mr. Albrecht.

      Will Albrecht: How 'bout that? We actually have something in common. We both go to the post office on Saturdays.

      E.J. Baxter: Hm. I imagine a lot of people do.

      Will Albrecht: Yeah, well, I'm sure you're right. Enjoying your day?

      E.J. Baxter: Hm. Just doing errands.

      Will Albrecht: Me too.

      E.J. Baxter: You'll be surprised to know that I haven't gotten lost once yet today.

      Will Albrecht: Well, it's not even noon yet, so... Yeah, Saturday mornings are all about errands for me, but then I always head to this little brunch place down the block.

      E.J. Baxter: Nice.

      Will Albrecht: Yeah. It's real nice. It's got great food.

      E.J. Baxter: Mmm. You enjoy yourself. Oh, do you know where the nearest Kinko's is? I never had a need to look before, but now since that calendar's *actually* happening, Jan and I can't do all the copying by ourselves. So...

      Will Albrecht: We don't have a Kinko's.

      E.J. Baxter: No Kinko's?

      Will Albrecht: No Kinko's.

      E.J. Baxter: How can that be? I thought there was a law that said there had to be a Kinko's on every corner, next to a Gap.

      Will Albrecht: We don't have a Gap either.

      E.J. Baxter: That's not even funny.

      Will Albrecht: But, I think there's one in Billings.

      E.J. Baxter: Well, I don't know where that is, but I need to go there. How close is it?

      Will Albrecht: Oh, it's not too bad. About ten hours, depending on the road conditions. Ain't it awful?

      E.J. Baxter: Mm. I'm not gonna be here forever, so don't worry.

      Will Albrecht: Oh, yeah, well, I'll try not to sweat it.

      E.J. Baxter: You know what? Just because I have a different way of doing things, doesn't make it wrong. It just makes it different. I get that you don't think I belong here. You have zero respect for what I'm trying to do, but you know what? I don't care. Not even remotely. And I get that you think that I act like I landed on the moon, but you don't have to tell me that because for the past six months, I felt like I've been living on another planet. So for the future, let's be polite and agree we disagree and leave it at that, shall we?

    Cute holiday film with a great looking cast, not as risqué as the title sounds
    In fast-paced Manhattan, EJ (Christin Chenowith) seems to have everything going her way. She has a great job in publicity, a handsome fiancé and a very nice apartment. But, things fall apart, as they say. Her fiancé cheats on her with their mutual boss lady and there's nothing for EJ to do but throw back the ring and quit her job. But, a new problem arrives. When this beautiful blonde smartie goes looking for another position, of which there are plenty in her chosen field, she finds that she has been "blackballed" by her former boss. Now, she's lost her man and her chance of employment in the city that never sleeps. Fortunately, she has a caring sister who advises her to take a fine job offer from Kalispell, Montana's mayor. It seems this scenic town, not far from Glacier National Park, wants a publicist to bring more corporate retreats to their area. Thus, EJ will have a salary and she will be far away from those who did her wrong. She does it. Arriving in this very lovely place, EJ is astounded at the low rents and the warmth of the residents. But, naturally, there are very few restaurants and sight-seeing opportunities, other than the natural beauty of the mountains and fields. Therefore, EJ is initially stuck for a "good angle" on her quest for publicity. But, hold the phone! There is a bevy of good looking men who do volunteer search-and-rescue. One man is particular, Will (Josh Hopkins) has a great face and, er, bod. Yet, since EJ manages to offend him straight away, there may not be any romantic vibes coming. Even so, EJ hatches a tried-but-true idea for her job. Why don't they make a calendar featuring the men of Kalispell, in various stages of dress, doing rugged manly chores? Everyone eventually loves the idea except Josh. So, its soon underway to becoming a reality. Will it work for the town's benefit? Will EJ and Josh soon realize that sparks are flying despite first impressions? This is another fine entry into the realm of holiday romcoms. Since calendars have twelve months, there is indeed a wonderful dozen of handsome, charming men on display, which adds enjoyment to the fine work by Chenowith and Hopkins. The rest of the cast, including Anna Chlumsky, is nice as well. One could hardly miss the tremendous beauty of the Montana setting while the nice costumes, script, photography, and cheerful direction add their own assets to the movie. All in all, fans of romantic comedy will be the seventh, er, twelfth heaven with this cute little winner.
