Popular actress Megan Valentine (Jessica Simpson) is down on her luck: Her scheming accountant made off with her fortune, and her latest film flopped. She hopes to sign onto a major military-theme production but, first, must change her ditzy image to impress the studio making the movie. In order to prove herself, Megan enters the Marines and is sent to boot camp, where she butts heads with gruff Sgt. Louisa Morley (Vivica A. Fox) and struggles to adapt to life without luxury.

Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 10 Funny in 1 hour and 38 minutes. See more 03/13/2016 This movie was too ambitious. It should have been a TV movie to begin with. This is as bad as they say but better than some Lifetime/Hallmark movies I have watched on a rainy Saturday afternoon. See more 06/22/2015 Very predictable and brainless... but Simpson wasn't half bad this time around. Pretty sure that this was the peak of her acting ability... and I've seen much worse.
