I suspect the only reason this exists at all is because everything Nia Vardolos has done in the last fourteen years has been a resounding failure. Connie and Carla, My Life In Ruins and I Hate Valentine's Day. Three strikes, it's time to go back to the minors, or in this case the last success, and hope to get a handle on what went wrong. Judging by the reviews, that didn't happen.
