Loony but lovable klutz Polly (Sheila McCarthy) lands a job in an upscale art gallery. In a major gaffe, she hangs a piece of art she mistakenly credits to her boss, Gabrielle (Paule Baillargeon), but which really was created by Gabrielle's lover, Mary (Ann-Marie MacDonald). And when she develops an inconvenient crush on Gabrielle, Polly's troubles begin to multiple faster than dabs of paint on a Jackson Pollock canvas.
I loved this movie when it first came out, tracked down a copy on video tape, eventually had it transferred to DVD by a friend, and now here it is on Netflix. If you are an artist, you will love it. (The scene in the gallery with the art-speak is hilarious.) If you are a photographer, you will love it. And you will love Sheila McCarthy as the waif. I can't for the life of me understand why she hasn't made it big. I've seen her several times in bit parts, but never any big parts. Anyway, give it a try if you are in the mood for charming.
