This movie was enjoyable. Jackee is a treasure.... a national treasure. Jackee and Michael Pare were great together and they had easy chemistry. I loved the scene between Jackee and the Vice President of the company. Vivica A. Fox makes any movie better. She excels at the roles when she's in charge. No one can play boss like Vivica. Donte is easy on the eyes and he was addition to this movie. My only complaint was the main character, which is Alexis. She's not a great actress. She was good but not great. Her and Donte did make a beautiful couple though. Overall, this movie was good and I am glad I took the time to watch it.

Jackbv12310 January 2024Jackee Harry playing Cecilia visits her daughter, Alexis, by surprise in the middle of her busiest season. She becomes an intern and then miraculously boosts company sales though radio ads. The sixty plus year old becomes a model for photo ads. She starts up a romance with the warehouse manager.
Cecilia is trying to keep her investors happy and has to deal with their rep Donte. She tries to act like she is not interested romantically. Donte seems more interested in Ceclia than the company. Meanwhile his boss, Charlotte played by Vivica A. Fox, is micromanaging and criticizing everything about the company despite great numbers and Donte's hearty thumbs up. And worse. Most of the criticisms would have been known before the investment, so this scenario is just silly.
The conflict that creates the obstacle between Donte and Alexis is started by an invasion of privacy that honest people don't do, but then maybe today's generation does.
Alexis reaction to the crisis is just as bad, maybe worse. Oh woe is me.
The script is poor. Most of the acting is poor. There is too much talk about business details. Most of us who watch these movies think that there is more to business that just dollars, but this movie mixes up business and romance just too much. And when it does deal with business the writers have no idea how things work. The climax and ending are just stupid but then a lot of the movie was too.
