Small town girl Katie (Jessica Simpson) decides to surprise her longtime fiancee Billy who has gone to NYC to be a model. She is surprised to find him in bed with another girl. She finds help from aspiring actor cousin Haley (Rachael Leigh Cook). Ben (Luke Wilson) from the mailroom is infatuated with her. Conniving executives Debra (Penelope Ann Miller) and Freddy (Andy Dick) hire the seeming idiot girl to be the new secretary to CEO Richard Connelly (Larry Miller). They think she would be easier to manipulate but her homespun wisdom is more of a hurdle. Pap Paw (Willie Nelson) from home is worried about the innocent Katie in the big city.
Jessica Simpson is not necessarily the best of actors but she does have a natural comedic ease which is useful in the right movies. The start is functional and she isn't asked to do too much. Once she gets involved in the company, the writing gets worst and she is hopelessly overwhelmed by the mounting mess. She doesn't have a chance. She doesn't help either. This simply deteriorates into an unfunny comedy.
