What a waste. Nadine Velasquez can be funny, but the script gives her nothing, bottom of the barrel.
The story has her dad wanting her married to inherit his fortune. Why did the script have the father winning the lottery? Why couldn't it have him be a successful businessman? There's some not subtle prejudice there.
Any humor or whimsy is lost by bad direction as well. You can almost hear the performers waiting after each line for the laugh track to be inserted. Without it, it's painfully unfunny.
If you want to watch just to look at Velsaquez, there are better choices. My Name Is Earl reruns, or her nude scene in Flight.
