 Rosie (MICHELLE PFEIFFER), a 40-year-old producer on You Go Girl, a show about rich black teens, spends her evenings thinking up ‘street’ dialogue and playing Barbies with her daughter, Izzie (SAOIRSE RONAN): But All that’s about to change. The show is on the slide and Rosie’s job is on the line. Izzie, meanwhile, has her own problems. Barbies are getting boring, her first period is on the horizon and she’s in the agonies of her first crush, having fallen for a kid, Dylan (RORY COPUS), in class who doesn’t even know she exists…
Rosie has been single for a year and has become resigned to her loveless work existence. There she meets breezy and talented Adam Perl (PAUL RUDD) at a casting session. Throwing caution to the wind she agrees to go out on a date with the persistent actor. Adam just might be everything that Rosie needs and wants in her life. The only problem is the fact that he’s eleven years younger. But even her daughter thinks he is great. Or is that just because Adam can help Izzie dazzle her desired beau at school with new improved skills on the latest video game? It’s not just in Rosie’s personal life that Adam seems to be a hit. His work on the show instantly ups the flagging ratings. However, Rosie’s ambitious and spiteful assistant Jeannie (SARAH ALEXANDER) has started to surreptitiously sow seeds of doubt in her boss’ heart. She unleashes a hateful campaign to sabotage Rosie’s relationship. Jeannie covertly and expertly links Adam with his beautiful You Go Girl co-star, the high-maintenance Brianna Minx (STACEY DASH). Rosie’s daughter lovingly – and quite unknowingly – acts as Jeannie’s adversary. Izzie’s pro-Adam voice of reason begs her wavering mother not to jump to any conclusions. “Ma, you have no proof… It’s circumstantial. Don’t you ever watch lawyer shows?”  Just as things look to be turning around for Rosie, her life could well be collapsing again. Marty (FRED WILLARD) suddenly decides to pull the plug on her show in favour of hipper programming. He does however give Adam his own show. Thanks to Rosie, Adam’s career is now very much in the ascendancy whilst her own seems to be in tatters. Spurred on by Jeannie’s malignant whisperings, Rosie can’t help but fear that Adam used her for a job jump-start.
But all is not as bad as it appears. Adam refuses to work on his new sitcom The Shizzle unless Rosie is on board by his side. Jeannie is outed as a troublemaker. And Izzie has learned that the secret to snare her man is simply to
ignore him… It might not be the way Mother Nature (TRACEY ULLMAN) had it planned, but maybe Mother Nature had it wrong after all? |
