Horribly unromantic-romantic "comedy"

Warning: Spoilers
There's a great cast for this one and it was free on prime but that's where the appeal ends. Shelley Long has an obsession with controlling her brother's life and berating her poor, developmentally disabled daughter with hypochondriac warnings and nicknames like "piglet", the main dude lets his sister decide his entire life and presentability for him so he can win a shallow journalist that can be swayed by a bad accent, crayola blue contacts and a terrible mullet. My husband and I both agreed this movie perpetuates that looks do matter, which isn't very romantic at all. Also the leads have zero chemistry but we're supposed to buy that they're ready to fly off into the sunset together ?! Gertz doesn't even know the real person underneath the paperback hero nonsense.
