Runs 112 minutes

Kate (Anna Faris) is a hard-working single mother trying to raise three daughters. She encounters Leonardo (Eugenio Derbez) when she is hired to clean the carpets on his yacht. Needless to say, Leonardo is a spoiled rich brat and he throws Kate and her cleaning equipment overboard. Days later Kate discovers that Leonardo has fallen off of his yacht and lost his memory. Her best friend Theresa (Eva Longoria) convinces Kate to go to the hospital and claim Leonardo as her husband. Kate is really just trying to teach him a lesson but soon he is bonding with the children and doing little things for Kate. Will she be able to tell him the truth when his memory starts to come back?

This is a remake of the movie starring Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell but with the roles reversed. It is not as good as the original. But, it is still a decent romantic comedy. It is funny and sweet. Anna Faris is so cute. You just want her to catch a break. It made me laugh. I had fun for 112 minutes. It will not win any awards and the plot is completely predictable. But, I liked the close friendships beween all of the people in the film and the sense of family. I liked that Kate was trying to finish nursing school and make a better life for her and her daughters. It is a harmless romantic comedy. Take your best friend or your sister and go see it. Just have fun.
