Charlie (Jennifer Lopez) is a woman who works many part-time jobs and is unlucky in love. Then she meets Kevin (Michael Vartan), a rich doctor, and they fall in love and get engaged. Kevin has a very protective, eccentric mother named Viola (Jane Fonda), and Viola doesn’t want her only son to get married. She does all she can in her power to irritate her son’s fiancee.

This movie hovers in between a 2 and a 3 star rating. I wasn’t bored when watching the movie, but I wasn’t entertained either. It didn’t meet my expectations. I expected:

a) Everything to be funnier - there were some laughs, but not enough. Ruby (Wanda Sykes), who is Viola’s assistant, provided most of the laughs. And it shouldn’t be coming from her!
b) Charlie and Kevin to act more like they were in love and really meant for each other. There was zero chemistry. I didn’t really care if Charlie just walked away.
c) Charlie to be more likeable.

Was I expecting too much for a romantic comedy??

I think the main actors did a good job with the acting. Jane Fonda was great as a crazy woman. The problem was with the script. And with maybe casting Michael Vartan (I love him, but just not in this movie!) with Jennifer Lopez.
