Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFood Network posted the recipes for all of the dishes on their website. Specific dishes prepared for the movie include:
- Lobster Salad in Potato Leek Nests
- Duck Hash on Toasted Baguette
- Spiced Lamb Shanks with Blood Orange Relish
- Roasted Quail with Brioche and Chorizo Stuffing
- Risotto Barolo with Roasted Vegetables
- Bananas Foster
- Poulet Tchoupitoulas.
- GoofsWhen at the roulette table, one of the characters tells Georgia that her single bet on black 17 is very large. After winning 3 times in a row on that number, rebankrolling her winnings each time she walks away from the table and the other character tells her she has won almost 100,000 us dollars. Since roulette pays 36 to 1 on a single spot, that means her initial bet was only approximately 2 dollars! Since she has approximately 4 stacks of red chips ($5) I would estimate her to have put about $400 down initially, which would have netted her about 18.6 million!

Featured review
Cute movie
I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this movie.
Yes the plot has been done many times before. As with most romantic comedies, it's nothing deep, had some cheesy moments and was totally predictable (I figured out the whole movie in the first 10 minutes).
But I really enjoyed it all the same. I laughed a lot in this movie. Partly because I could totally relate to trying to live life under the radar as woman that doesn't look like a model. Plus it was refreshing to see an African American woman shown with some depth in a movie. Not just the mean black woman.
There was very little cussing, little sexuality, and no nudity. Truly refreshing these days.
If you just want to enjoy a movie without having to put too much thought into it, go see this movie.
