Jean (Heather Locklear) is a cake decorator/maker who drags her two daughters to a new locale every time a man dumps her. One of the daughters, Holly (Hillary Duff), is getting tired of the whole arrangement. This time, when the family moves to Brooklyn, Holly wants to put down roots. But, mother must be kept happy. Therefore, Holly begins a search and a deception about finding the perfect man for her mother. Along the way, Holly is almost ready to experience her first close friendship, too. What could possibly go awry? This is a very sweet confection for those who find themselves drawn to romantic comedy. Locklear is delightful, why doesn't someone sign her up for three or four more of these kinds of things? Duff is also wonderful and engaging, she should receive more credit for her work on screen than she does. Chris Noth does charm as the love interest, too. Brooklyn looks spectacular, the costumes are lovely, and the script is snappy and fun. Ladies, do go to view this movie and bring friends and significant others. You will like what you see.
