Diane (Marcia Gay Harden) and Kate (Halston Sage) are not only mother and daughter but also best friends. Their lives are turned upside down, however, when Diane announces her engagement to a man named Bruce (Aidan Quinn), whom she's been secretly dating. In a series of comical events, Kate must come to terms with letting her mother be happy with someone else while she navigates her own love life and career aspirations. As Diane falls deeper in love, Kate worries that their close-knit relationship will be forever changed--and not for the better; so, she subconsciously tries to sabotage the wedding plans (despite officiating it). While Katie tries to get her mom to slow down and reconsider this obvious calamitous life decision, she finds herself falling for her handsome neighbor, Josh (Andrew Richardson)--the right guy at the totally wrong time.

This otherwise run-of-the-mill romantic comedy gets a little lift from the refreshing perspective of seeing the story through the strong mother-daughter relationship at its heart.

Rated: 3/5

Eu acabo por me identificar muito nesses filmes femininos, seja na qualidade tanto quanto nos defeitos, nos extremos e nós ponderações… Consigo compreender, sentir empatia, a intropatia por ambas as protagonistas por seus traumas e criações, apesar de eu nunca ter passado por nenhum dos dois, tenho facilidade de me colocar no lugar delas, bem com aversão por macho escroto, o que aqui não acontece, só hetero top fofo… Bonitinho...

A modern take on a classic filled with depleted morals, one night stands, and horrendous divorced parenting. Exactly what our culture doesn't need.

I thought it was a cute picture of a beautiful relationship. It didn't take itself too seriously but had some serious moment that made absolutely worth the watch. I loved Halston Sage. Great movie!

Good acting is wasted by a boring plot. Nothing interesting happens in this movie. Outside of a couple of funny moments, this is not worth watching
