Katherine Heigl tries to stretch her acting muscles playing Jenny a lawyer who is openly gay, living with her female partner (Kitty) for some years but has pretended to be straight to her conservative family and passed her partner off as a roommate. At various functions people ask Jenny about boyfriends and she coyly answers about never meeting the right man.
When Jenny announces she plans to marry Kitty, her parents and sister freak out along with many people in the neighbourhood. Jenny feels isolated and even disowned by her parents.
The film has noble instincts but it is vacuous and dull. There is little hint of a genuine, loving relationship of any kind between Jenny and Kitty. The character of Jenny's sister is irritating going on about how it is always about Jenny seeking attention although there is a subplot where the sister faces the shortcomings in her own heterosexual marriage.
Thew film's sentiments just feel dated and many of the character are just insufferable.
