Runs 103 minutes

Maya (Jennifer Lopez) is not ready to commit to her boyfriend Trey (Milo Ventimiglia) and has been passed over for a promotion at her big box store for a clueless guy with a college degree. She is down in the dumps on her birthday when her best friend Joan's (Leah Remini) son reinvents her resume and Facebook page. Before you know it, she is offered a job at a top company. She is determined to prove that she belongs in the big leagues, even without the pedigree. She gets a nice apartment and the company credit cards. And, soon she is thriving at her new job. But, a revelation at work throws her for a loop and she knows that she must come clean about her background and face the consequences.

The Husband and I really liked this movie. It is funny and touching. It won't win any awards but it will make you laugh and maybe even tear up for a minute or two. Plus, Jennifer Lopez is easy on the eyes. She looks fantastic throughtout the whole film. Leah Remini, as her best friend is hilarious and Vanessa Hudgens is really good, too. We had a fun time and laughed a lot. If you are looking for some mindless entertainment, then this is the film for you. Just relax and enjoy. Don't expect an Oscar movie, just a good time. Go see it.
