SYNOPSIS
After years of looking for Mr. Right, Charlotte “Charlie” Cantilini (Lopez) finally finds the man of her dreams, Kevin Fields (Vartan), only to discover that his mother, Viola, (Fonda) is the woman of her nightmares. A recently fired national news personality who
is afraid she will lose her son the way she has just lost her career, Viola determines to
scare off her son’s new fiancé by becoming the world’s worst mother-in-law. While
Viola’s long time assistant, Ruby (Sykes), does her best to help Viola execute her crazy schemes, Charlie decides to fight back, and the gloves come off as the two women battle it out to the finish.
