New Christmas hit from Netflix, Bubbles of Love tells the story of an American executive, Sydney (Minka Kelly), who travels to Paris to try to acquire a brand of champagne for his company. There, she ends up falling in love with Henri (Tom Wozniczka), son of the owner of the winery he is trying to acquire, which causes tensions in both romance and business.
Directed by Mark Steven Johnson (Love in Verona), Bubbles of Love features some popular romantic comedy tropes, such as troubled work romances or so-called enemies to lovers (in which two previously antagonistic figures fall in love), something that many other productions of the genre have used very well.

Laws of Attraction (2004)
Courtroom rivals, two of New York’s hottest divorce lawyers, played by Julianne Moore e Pierce Brosnanhave completely opposite methods in their work and very different views on life.
