Maya (Lopez) is a 40-year-old woman struggling with frustrations of not having achieved more in life. As an experienced, quick-witted, perceptive employee, she is passed over for a promotion solely because she doesn’t have a college degree. Until, that is, she gets the chance to prove that street smarts are as valuable as book smarts, and that it is never too late for a Second Act.

If  you loved the classic chick flicks from the 2000s that Jennifer Lopez starred in, you will love this one as well.  Remember the film Maid in Manhattan?  Think of this as an upgraded version...girl pretends to be someone else to get what she wants.  It has all the classic chick flick feels and the perfect cast!
