Heather Graham isn't a bad actress, but in the last few years she has taken nothing but hand-me-down roles in low-rent comedies and one poorly-received television show. This laughable item, replete with Julia Roberts/Meg Ryan/Diane Lane overtones, represents the nadir of the chick flick, the proverbial last resort for Lifetime when it can't scrape up anything better for a Tuesday afternoon. A trampy hussy stops living large long enough to check in with her corporate magnate father, but upon her arrival he has a heart attack; such is the hilarious chain of events which takes this cynical party girl from traveling the world to running one of daddy's magazines--a bridal spread. Somehow, two attractive men are drawn to Graham once she gets serious and buckles down, with the caveat being that we can all get what we want as long as we do the work. I'd rather see the escapades of a trampy hussy in Europe... NO STARS from ****
