Plot 411: A single mom uproots her family whenever her heart is broken and her eldest daugther finally puts her foot down.
Review: Heather Locklear and Hilary Duff star in this film about female empowerment . . . well, sorta. Locklear plays Jean, a single mom who is struggling to raise her two girls Holly (Duff) and Zoe (Aria Wallace). She is also desperate to find a man because she's tired of struggling on her own and doesn't feel fulfilled unless she has one. Because of her desperation, she continuously picks losers who let her down. When (not if) her heart gets broken, she packs up her house and kids and moves to another city. This is their family's new adventure. During their recent move to Brooklyn, Holly decides that enough is enough and creates a perfect man for her mom. This man is based on her friend's uncle, played by Chris Noth. She takes his advice and through the power of ingenuity and technology she is able to create a virtual suitor in hopes that her mother realizes she is perfect the way she is. While watching this film, I couldn't help but wonder whether Noth chose his films because of their location (New York) more than plot. From Sex and the City to Law & Order, the guy doesn't seem to leave the Big Apple. Also, Locklear and Duff look really good as mother and daughter. Their blonde hair and blue eyes are really striking. Other than that, this wasn't a really notable rom com or teen flick.
Watch It: For a chance to see Mr. Big?
Skip It: Because it's pretty unforgettable anyway.
