Dale is a sweet girl who just can’t catch a break with men.
Everyone she dates seems to cheat on her. Finally, she gives up and decides she
might as well move to L.A. where everyone is just as fake as everywhere else,
only they don’t hide it.

L.A. is utterly mind-numbing. At first, I thought my numb mind was the
result of being sick and lacking sleep. So I went out with a friend, grabbed a
delicious chicken wrap and some tea, then came home and took a nap before
moving on to the writing portion of this blog.
Nothing changed.
The thought of this movie re-numbed my brain and it took
three tries before I was able to describe it in the first paragraph without
just writing “blah blah blah blah.”
As far as I could tell, Christie Will (Baby Bootcamp, Her Infidelity, Twisted Tales of my 9 to 5) was trying to write a
more accessible version of Sex and the
City. It wasn’t successful. What she managed to create was a step-by-step
recipe that never deviated from the norm and featured the shallowest cast of
characters. I couldn’t even tell you if the acting was decent because there was
so little to the characters, it might as well have been a junior high school
play with a bigger budget.
It had a few cute moments, but they were difficult to enjoy
because they were surrounded by the rest of the film.

P.S. Very soon I will be adding a new contributor to the
blog on a trial basis. If it works out, each movie will have two opinions. Stay
