...lightly brushed by scandal. And by Lexie Littleton (Renee Zellweger), a proto-feminist newspaper reporter intent on exposing (perhaps inventing would be a better word) a less-than-sterling Rutherford myth. She is, of course, smitten with him. And, she banters fiercely with Connolly - and anyone the least bit familiar with the basic tropes of romantic comedy has to know where that is heading.
