A love challenged woman meets a man while walking dogs; one of her many part time endeavors. He turns out to be a rich doctor who comes from a wealthy family. They fall madly in love and all seems to be going well until his mother comes into the picture. A famous news broadcaster who just got fired, the mother (a single divorcee four times over) is very protective of her only son and will seemingly stop at nothing to break up their relationship before they get married. The woman has her own bag of tricks and tries to prove she can hold her own.
This is a fun, light comedy that could be extra funny if you are married and have your own monster-in-law. I thought the chemistry between Jennifer Lopez and Jane Fonda worked well and made for some amusing antics. Wanda Sykes provided the icing on the cake with her well timed smart-mouthed comments. Overall, though, I felt the character Jennifer Lopez played was too close to her character from Maid in Manhattan as was the concept of a poor woman being swept off her feet by a rich man. Nothing too original, but if you want to be entertained without having to think very hard, this could be the film for you.
Rating: 2.5 of 5 stars

I typically watch movies on Monday, Wednesday and Friday while riding the ACE Train from Tracy to Santa Clara. The opinions expressed are those of me, myself and I.
