Charlie (Jennifer Lopez) finally meets her perfect man, Kevin Fields (Michale Vartan). A few months into their relationship, Kevin introduces Charlie to his mother, Viola (Jane Ford), who is having a meltdown following the ending of her TV career.
When Kevin proposes to Charlie, Viola is determined to break up the engagement, for fear of loosing her son. Helped by her assistant Ruby (Wanda Sykes), Viola attempts to get rid off Charlie, by coming across as an overbearing mother-in-law wanting control of the wedding.
Once Charlie realises Viola's plans, she begins to fight back, with Kevin remaining unaware of the feud between the two.
The plot is predictable, however this can be expected of a romantic comedy. Special mention must go to Wanda Sykes, who despite a small role, has the best one-liners in the film. It is a thoroughly enjoyable romantic comedy, and I would recommend it to those who enjoy this genre.
