jennshe What a terrible movie and a huge waste of time! The star is trying too hard to create a happy-go-lucky mash up between a Julia Roberts type character in Pretty Girl and a serious Rene Russo. She looks much older than her leading man (i.e., her face looks like she's had a lot of work done and not very good work at that. There is very little romantic chemistry between her and the male lead. Armand Assante plays his role like a mafia kingpin. I couldn't help waiting for him to say bada-bing, then shoot somebody.Watch this movie at your own peril. I would not recommend this movie to anyone. I'm not surprised I have never heard of the lead actress. After this film, she probably didn't work much.

AleksandertheDraconian In my most humble opinion this is the worst movie I've ever seen because I think is extremely cheesy, preposterous and disgusting. The main contra of this film is the leading character (annoying and beyond all bearing), second the bad acting of all the actors and of course the unreal plot and the bad directing.The first horrible mistake of this film is definitely the bad choice of putting Jenna Mattison in the leading role, I mean WHO IS SHE? (I wondered that the whole film) I can't deny it she's extremely ugly but she thought she was lovely and charming, anyways, I realized she wrote the story so that explains why everyone was praising her. But apart from her physical appearance, her horrible personality is what really shocked me! Gosh! she was annoying speaking more than she should. Throughout the film she speaks and speaks saying senseless things trying to be rude when she actually wasn't.The other actors where really bad and the good ones did a really bad job on this film, for example: Armand Assante and Betty White. Assante and White are in my opinion not the best but they are okay actors. What I really didn't understand why in the credits they were listed below Mattison and Maguire (We're not talking about Winslet and DiCaprio). I really think Assante should'd fired his agent after getting him into this absurdity of a film.The plot was so fictitious that I hardly think there's someone who might like this film because is pure pain for anyone. I actually didn't get what's the point of the story when it has a really lame plot: a pretty-woman-wannabe librarian is granted three wishes by her long time lost father. The way I see it there's no reason to watch this film if Maggie makes something so complicated (to forgive your father after being away for so many time and reappearing as if nothing) seem so simple and plain.Despite everything what really mad me LMAO was when it finally ended and the song played when the credits were appearing was the Dance The Reed Pipes and many other songs from The Nutcracker, really bad! It was really obvious that it was a fanatic's movie. I can't hardly believe it was shown in theaters.

madscientist30013 For some reason the Big Red Envelope company recommended this piece of tripe to us as something we would like. What a heap of moronic clichés. I won't even hint at the plot line or you would figure it out instantly like I did. I kept waiting for a twist or at least something original, but to no avail. The lead character, played by Jenna Mattison, is easily the most annoying women I've ever seen on screen. The sad thing is, she is supposed to be cute and endearing. And what's with the freakishly huge mouth and the constant smiling, even while telling the tragic story of her early childhood? As a fan of Mystery Science Theater I've sat through some awful pieces of cheese, but this one really got under my skin.

kristensteale I watched this movie with my eight year old son who thought the movie sounded awesome from the description. What a waste of a DVD rental. Half way through this movie, we switched it off. I believe my sons exact words were "Mum this movie is lame, I hate it".Maggie Malone was one of the worst characters in cinematic history; I found not one part of her endearing. The movie tries hard to make her seem kind, optimistic and well liked. Her landlord and boss seemingly accept the fact that she is not paying her rent and turns up late for work every day, that is if she does turn up for work. In fact her landlord offers her a meal after telling her she is months behind in her rent. If you have seen the movie Pretty Woman then this movie has pretty much ripped off many of the scenes. As one reviewer mentions, there is one particular part where she makes reference to Pretty Woman, and then proceeds to mirror the scene in the b grade style that reeks throughout this movie. We constantly hear throughout the early stages of the movie that she does not believe in love. However, it does not take her long to start making doe eyes at the lawyer, hired to help her spend her inheritance. One scene she takes the office bound Lawyer on a bike ride, once again the similarities of Pretty Woman appearing in this unoriginal script. I can't believe this movie was even made. I cringe as I relive the scenes, I wish there was a way where I could forget it.
