When a charming, successful doctor named Kevin Michael Vartan proposes to the vibrant and kind-hearted Charlie Jennifer Lopez, she believes she has found her perfect happily ever after. Her fairy tale hits a formidable snag, however, in the form of Kevin's mother, the recently unseated and fiercely controlling television legend Viola Jane Fonda. Seeing Charlie as an unworthy threat to her son and her own dominance, Viola embarks on a ruthless campaign to sabotage the relationship and derail the wedding. What ensues is a hilarious and escalating war of wills, with Charlie's loyal friend Wanda Sykes offering sharp-witted commentary from the sidelines. Directed by Robert Luketic, this uproarious comedy pits future bride against monstrous mother-in-law in a battle where love, sanity, and the most elaborate wedding plans are on the line.
