Sisterhood, Inc.
Despite equal parts makeover and romcom, Sisterhood, Inc. is no She's All That. After being ousted from the company she founded, and desperately in need of a project, Megan (Rachael Leigh Cook) recruits a board of life coaches (Rosa Gilmore, Steve Schirripa, Jackie Hoffman, and Leonidas Gulaptis) to fix the life of her screw-up younger sister Izzy (Daniella Monet).
Can we just stop for a moment consider how absolutely crazy this concept is? The only thing more crazy is how quickly everyone accepts the idea (Fortune 500 investors are even lining up to invest in the concept). While aspects of Izzy's life are improved, turning over her decision making, including romantic decisions, leads (unsurprisingly) to unhappiness.
The movie is a mix of Megan and the group helping (or pushing) changes to Izzy's life, some of which work better than others, reconnecting to her sister and estranged mother (Judy Kain), and, taking up less of the film than you might expect, the separate romantic entanglements for Izzy and someone's idea of a finance guy (Austin Colby) and Megan falling for the psychiatrist on her new board (Gulpatis).
There are few moments buried under the contrivance and schmaltz, between Megan and her mother and sister, but this is a pretty forgettable product from the Hallmark assembly line, doing the bare minimum to pump out a by-the-numbers story that never even hints at ever coloring outside the lines while somehow also totally ignoring anything passing for common sense.
