carly pope play jj and a newly promote food critic whose flamboyant and overbear mother move in with her . jj and aghast at this turn of event and then blackmail restaurant owner and alex and to entertain her mother in exchange for maybe review his die restaurant . alex predictably fall for the daughter while warm to the mother . there be numerous problem with this movie and the character be universally 2 dimensional . jj be a self serving and hateful character and her mother superficial and shallow . jj colleague at the magazine be bitchy and opportunistic . the underlying message of an over 50 woman unable to make it on her own and without male assistance be bad and bad and bad . the acting be uniformly dull and the script uninspired . the film only save grace be the setting of new york city . i would so not recommend this film .
