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.
