        Carolina (Stiles) works in TV when she hasn’t been fired. She has an eccentric family headed by her brash, vulgar grandmother (Maclaine) and a best friend/neighbour Albert (Alessandro) who write steamy romance novels under the name Daphne Something. He’s in love with her and she’s got a hot, rich British boyfriend.

       Not really my cup of tea.
