Synopsis: When a mob boss dies, his fashion student granddaughter is recruited to take over as head of the family.

Who's in it? Megan Fox, Kaley Cuoco and Dominic Chianese.

What I liked about this movie: It was a bit lame at times, but, overall, this was a decent, family friendly comedy. There were some funny moments (like her first meeting with a rival crime boss), an OK love story (involving an FBI detective) and even a pretty entertaining fashion show; something I don't normally care for.

Fox, who starred in this movie prior to Transformers, was pretty decent as a stuck-up rich girl cheating her way through fashion school. She managed to pull it off well enough to make you glad when she finally gets what she deserves at the end.

What I didn't like about this movie: The film was actually kind of predictable in my opinion; especially since it reminded me of the movie The Princess Diaries in many ways. As a result, some of the twists and turns really didn't have as much of an impact as they would have had if they were more of a surprise.

Final Opinion: It's not the best movie I have ever seen but it still managed to be somewhat entertaining and I would recommend it if you are bored one night and can't find anything better.

My Grade: 3 stars out of a possible 5.
