... it is Cookie who does the growing up, and Ana who
makes the grown-up decision. Cookie (played to the
hilt by the astonishing Courtenay Collins) discovers
you can’t put a price on love, and by the end of her
journey, she doesn’t really care what others think.

... The title role is played with charm, sincerity, and
verve by Courtenay Collins; this talented woman can
do no wrong these days. If you're a fan, I must tell you
she doesn't sing here, but she soars in this role.

Collins crafts a credible performance that gets big
laughs with little details like the moan she emits
midsentence while talking on the phone during a
deep-tissue massage. The actress manages to keep
such an oversized personality and drama queen from
turning into caricature. If anything, Collins comes
across as slightly too grounded for a woman so
obsessed with trivialities and prone to lament,
"People will think I'm a terrible mother!" Collins'
performance seems less worried about hitting punch
lines than exploring Cookie's mixed feelings and
motivations.
