Perfect on Paper (2014) Synopsis

Generous, warmhearted Cooper 'Coop', who even acts as father figure for half-orphan rascal Eli, always extends a warm welcome to new tenants in the affordable LA apartment building, but instantly takes a special fancy to uncertain newcomer Natalie Holland, volunteering to introduce her to local ways and places. She moved from Portland as her friend, petty publisher Avery Goldstein, urgently needed a new editor as her only bestseller author, impossible to please Beverly Wilcox, fired another one and threatened to leave. 'Rustic' Natalie's boorish honesty somehow pleases spoiled Beverly, who introduces her exclusively and confides in her. Despite doing everything right, ever-helpful Coop is kept at a distance and is disappointed to learn she follows Avery's advice to look for a good party on paper, two-timing socialite womanizer Bob Lewis who seduces Natalie while luring Beverly to his New York firm, smashing her LA dreams. Through Eli, whose needy mother she helps to hospital, Coop reconsiders and she learns that he owns the building, which a year later leads to a happy end for nearly everybody.—KGF Vissers
