When Marni learns that Joana does remember her she sets to expose her to her brother.

Review:
There are people who watched this film and loved it. I am not among them. So my advice before watching it is: keep your expectations to a minimum. Sure, the female cast is perfect, but all of them were not as good as I'm used watching them. And the worst are Sigourney Weaver and Jamie Lee Curtis, who's talent's were wasted by the writers. On the other hand, Kristen Bell was perfect, as well as the legendary Betty White, who steels every scene she is in. So the bottom line is, although the story was OK, the cast was great, there were a couple of funny scenes this isn't the film I would recommend.

Rating: 5/10
