At 36, Genie Michaels is beginning to feel that she has hit
the snooze button on her life one too many times. When
her "commitment-phobic" boyfriend Hugh proposes on national
TV—not to Genie, but to an unknown mystery woman—Genie's
wise-cracking friend Patty doesn't hesitate to give her
some tough love: "You remind me of that idiot Sleeping
Beauty, lying around like a zombie waiting for your prince.
Well, guess what, he rode right past your castle and now
you have a choice - you can either go back to bed or you
can wake up!"
Genie chooses to wake up. After some questionable advice,
her first step is to allow everyone to believe she's Hugh's
real fiancée. She'll let him be the one to explain the
mistake. Naturally the good news travels fast and, in a
heartbeat, Genie's parents are booking a reception hall
while friends are showering her with gifts. Genie feels bad
about the deception, but at last everyone is dancing to her
tune, and she can't help but enjoy it. Particularly when a
certain too-handsome-for-his-own-good Greek carpenter shows
up on the scene thinking he's hotter than Tabasco. Genie
realizes that she never needed a man to start her life - to
buy a home, to get a better job, or even to wear a diamond
ring. And if Prince Charming wants to show up while she'sat
it, she just might teach him a thing or two.
