Hillary Duff plays a psychotic girl in serious need of mental help.

Yet we are supposed to see Holly's antics as cute. Well... they aren't.

Holly is a girl with major issues. Her mom keeps moving when she can't find a boyfriend, and then Holly and her little sister Zoe decide to make a fictional man for her. With her stereotypically Brooklyn sidekick, they wreak all sorts of havoc just to make sure their mom doesn't find out about the man that they based the perfect man off of.

My girlfriend liked it... and I have no idea why.

This is perhaps one of the worst movies ever made, with laughable dialogue and about TEN MINUTES of AIM conversations with the untalented actors saying what they are typing as if the audience can't read. Judging the IQ of those who like Hillary Duff and this kind of movie, and the state of today's public schools I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of them can't read.

This really is NOT a good movie for kids. The characters have no redeeming value whatsoever and the family is very disturbing to say the least.

All the minor characters have no depth and are just comic stereotypes such as "witty black woman" and "flamboyant and sex-obsessed gay man" and "geek in love with pretty girl who really is kind of ugly and a ditzy bleached blonde (I'd pick Kat Dennings or Lindsay Lohan over Hillary Duff. So would any male.)"

There are a lot of people giving high scores to this movie but I suspect they're just Hillary Duff fans. From a neutral standpoint, this is perhaps the worst movie ever written. It's almost comically bad, but the whole... so bad it's good thing really is best for sci fi movies like Dark Star or Hercules in New York. Not for ditzy chick flicks.

Parents, it's actually better to let your kids see an evil raunchy comedy such as Wedding Crashers or 40 year old Virgin. They have more moral messages than this load of bleach.
