Factual errors:
The economics information on the chalkboard when Stan is taking the exam (71 minutes) is incorrect — he was right to look perplexed and then walk out of that class. On the left side of the screen, the graph with a horizontal line is labeled as "perfectly inelastic," with "E=0". Nope, a horizontal demand curve is "perfectly elastic" and has an elasticity coefficient of infinity. A perfectly inelastic demand curve is vertical and has an elasticity coefficient of zero.

Zoe:
[Zoe gets in a taxi cab]
Oh, excuse me this is my cab

Stan:
What you own it?

Zoe:
No, but I'm about to rent it



User Review

Awful in so many ways

Rating: 3/10

The plot is fresh and original, at least I've never seen anything like
it before. This film actually has two options. #1 To be a serious drama
about a "middle aged" woman and the choices she makes. #2 To be
hilarious and make the audience laugh all the way home. Somehow this
movie is attempting both which unfortunately results in a chick flick
so weak that not even the girliest of girls (that would be me), would
bother watching.. again. It has a few good scenes here and there, but
not enough to make it worth watching a second time. Being quite the
J.Lo fan, this movie really was a major disappointment, as I had looked
forward to her comeback. I def smell a Razzie…!
