A warm, comedic romance about a woman's last-minute realization of her feelings for her best friend, driven by scheming and self-discovery rather than darkness.

When she receives word that her longtime platonic pal Michael O'Neal is getting married to debutante Kimberly Wallace, food critic Julianne Potter realizes her true feelings for Michael -- and sets out to sabotage the wedding.
