By Karen Valby

Head Over Heels very well may be the least romantic, least comedic romantic comedy in recent memory. Potter -- who's coasted long enough on her resemblance to Julia Roberts -- plays Amanda, a single girl who moves in with four supermodels (the actresses, inexplicably, have a tough time playing dumb). The gangly gaggle of girls make Amanda over so she can win Jim Winston (Prinze), the next door neighbor who may or may not be a cold blooded murderer. Folks, Freddie is the finest actor of this bland bunch, and if that doesn't scare you off, nothing will.
