Beauty & the Briefcase is a romantic comedy film directed by Gil Junger and was released in 2010. It stars Hilary Duff as Lane Daniels, a freelance writer who dreams of becoming a serious journalist. She pitches a feature story to Cosmopolitan magazine about finding love in the workplace and agrees to go undercover at a finance company to gather information for her article.
Lane dresses up in business attire and sneaks into the finance company under the pretense of being a new employee. There, she meets several attractive men, including Seth (Matt Dallas), a cute and charming intern, and Tom (Michael McMillian), a handsome and successful businessman.
As Lane struggles to balance her job duties with her undercover work, she finds herself falling for Tom, who seems to be the perfect match for her. But as she delves deeper into the company, Lane discovers a scandal brewing underneath the surface, and she must decide whether to expose it or keep her focus on her article.
Throughout the film, Lane navigates the ups and downs of work and love, all while trying to establish herself as a serious journalist. Beauty & the Briefcase is a modern take on a classic Cinderella story, and Hilary Duff delivers a charming and relatable performance as the plucky heroine.
