At the end of the movie Holly admits that the perfect man was her the entire time. After this, Holly's mom is tired of moving and realizes that what she is doing is wrong and decides to not movie this time and take a break from dating. But this time, Holly wants to move because she does not like the people. However, they end up not moving and decide that staying would be the best for both of them and a start of something new.
Best part of story, including ending: I really like how Holly is scheming all of this so well. She is pretending to be "the perfect man" so well. It was exciting to watch her trick her mom so good. I also like how she cares so much about her mom that she would go this far, just to make her mom happy.

Best scene in story: My favorite scene is when Holly, her little sister and her mom are all dancing to a song that "the perfect man" sent in the mail. It was so touching to see all of them happy like that.

Opinion about the main character: I love Hilary Duff. Another fabulous movie played by the beautiful Hilary Duff. She is an AMAZING actress and always will be. She plays her role so good and professionally.
