Ann (Heather Graham) is a yoga teacher struggling to achieve inner peace despite the fact her family is driving her crazy and her dating life is miserable. She doesn't know how to say no and wants to fix everyone's problems. In the meantime, Ann struggles to save her sister Clio (Julia Stiles) from addiction with disastrous results. With so many expectations on her, Ann leans on her good friends Max, Frances, Roz, and Ella for support. They in turn set her up with a cute divorced dad Steve, who has an adorable 7 year-old daughter. When Ann meets Steve's daughter Lily, she is immediately smitten. But Lily does not feel the same, and as Steve and Ann get closer, Lily grows increasingly jealous and competitive. When Lily starts to misbehave, Ann sees that Lily can do no wrong in Steve's eyes -- she's in the battle of her life with a 7-year-old.

There aren’t exactly belly laughs in this tale of single yoga instructor Ann (Graham), but quite a few of zingers and bits that stick the landing nicely thanks to fluent direction and good comic timing from Graham and her excellent supporting cast.

In terms of production, the film is standard.

Emphasizing cutesy quirks over genuine emotion, this romantic comedy is a rather conventional exploration of relationships and self-discovery.

they actually have decent chemistry. The problem is the script doesn’t give them much to do.

Even if you judge this romantic dramedy by Hallmark standards, it falls short. Chosen Family is boring, repetitive, and uninteresting.

Graham’s only impressive feat is having made a movie in which not a single character resembles a functional human being.

While there are some worthwhile lessons in this movie, it’s packaged in a super boring film. with some really bad acting. Heather Graham was the best in this movie, but she couldn’t save this. Love Julia Styles, but wow. So bad. Waste of a good hour+ if my Sunday.

Heather Graham is amazing in this. The girl's been working since the 90's and she's still got it. Whatever this movie lacks, she reels it back in. I honestly don't get the hate this gets. There's twenty movies that are worse than I can list off. Graham works very well with the cast and I love her character. She is a triple threat in this: director, writer and actress. I love the indie vibe of this, it has an A-list actress in a rather low budget indie film and it works for me.
