When her friend Darcy (Illeana Douglas) suggests that she use a photo of an acquaintance as proof of a fake fiancé, the deception seems to work, and Kate gets promoted. However, when her boss wants to meet Kate's husband-to-be, she has to track down the guy, Nick (Jay Mohr), and talk him into playing along with the ruse.

[Aniston] has the rare gift of getting you to root for her in the most trying of circumstances, a quality that will stand her in good stead when she progresses to better material.

[Aniston] at her best can recall young Barbra Streisand in her What's Up, Doc? days.

Aniston doesn't need dialogue to catch Kate's quicksilver moods. It's the sitcom lines, at the service of a contrived plot, that choke her.

...a by-the-numbers yet workable premise that's employed to consistently underwhelming effect by Caron...

Awful movie. Completely pointless. The ending is contrived, hollow and selfish. Don't waste an hour and a half of your life like I did. 😭

Very little ,if any, chemistry in this movie. Jennifer Aniston holds the film together but just about. All in all Its a barley watchable and very forgettable rom com

The story here is a too contrived to be convincing, but overall I found the movie pleasant and entertaining to watch. Jennifer Aniston is clearly the main attraction, and she deliveres a solid likeable performance along with the supporting cast. The film ends realistically for the characters which helps reconcile the misguided corporate nonsense with the audience. My main concern with the movie was that it lacks the charasmatic magic which can make a movie special.
