Author's Summary: It's taking Natalie a while to adjust to being in the spotlight.

Review:
Natalie accidentally flashes her cotton knickers at the paparazzi. David is brilliant about it, but Natalie's mortified, and it's not her last run-in with the papers.

I love the split here between the truth -- a woman who's smart, funny, honest, and isn't always 100% confident about what to do or how she looks -- and the journalists who want to imply that everything's a sign of infidelity or a nervous breakdown. Both Natalie and David are in character, and Natalie's heartfelt and impromptu rant near the end is both funny and exactly right. Like their part of the original film, this rom-com promises that you don't need to be anyone other than yourself to be loved... not if you're lucky enough to find the right person.
