    No! No! This was terrible.
    Karla Mosely, the black actress who plays the friend, Nicole, was great. She has real star quality and can act.

    HOWEVER, this movie was really bad, even graded on a Hallmark curve. Watching it was one long cringe. The lead character is very unlikeable - a clueless version of Cruella DeVille. She is bad with dogs, bad with her husband, bad with her clients and a whiny clueless friend.

    Nothing in this movie is remotely plausible. The big stuff, the small stuff -its all wrong. The script is terrible. Dog classes last one minute, marriage counseling sessions last two minutes, a lawyer offers a character a job while sitting at a table in the park, hubby goes to Europe by himself after scheduling a Paris vacation as a surprise. On and on.

    This film lacked wit, charm, characters you care about, plausibility and chemistry between its leads. Plot, sets, music, dialog were amateurish. The moment it ended , my wife asked me to erase it from the DVR. I wish I could erase it from my memory.
