Maggie and Rose are totally different sisters. While Rose is a serious and hard-working lawyer, Maggie is crazy and spoils her life in a party after another, selling her body to earn money. After a great argument, Rose makes Maggie out of her house and she, having nowhere to go, will travel to Florida, where their Grandma lives. There she will discover the sense of helping the other people and to have a decent job (tahnks to grandma!). Meanwhile, Rose will learn how to be more open to new experiences and she will find love. although it has a typical plot, the movie is not annoying at any time. Sometimes funny, sometimes touching, it is able to tell you a well structured story, with quite well built characters (unusual in this kind of movies). Acting of Tony Collette and Shirley McLane is unexpectedly good (while Cameron Diaz is just correct), which makes the movie more interesting. It is a genre that artistically is not very good, but, probably one of the best movies of this type. It is quite long (130') but it does not seem so, it is no masterpiece, but is perfect to enjoy relaxed an afternoon or a long bus travel.
