    This is one of the worst and most predictable chick flicks I've seen in a long time. I usually try to find some redeeming qualities to a movie but I can't with this one...I actually felt the intelligence being sucked out of my brain while watching it! Hilary Duff will never be taken seriously or attract a market of fans over the age of 15 if she continues to do these cheap filler movies. It is shallow and makes women look bad. Predictable. Her character is so boy crazy it's embarassing for me as a woman. She has little aspirations in life other than catching the perfect man and she is willing to lie to do it. I would never allow my daughter to watch this because of this. Oh, and did I mention it's predictable? Don't waste your time or brain cells.

    Hilary Duff has made better movies. Do not waste renting it. I thought the movie would have gotten better. Doris S.

    I thought it was cute and I liked it!! You have to remember that this is an ABC Family made-for-TV movie, it's not going to be Oscar worthy.
