Plot edit
Harper Hutton was once a Broadway dance star until a leg injury cut her career short. While she has gone on to be a successful choreographer, Harper still wishes for the stardom denied to her. She has pushed her daughter Mirabella in her place, going so far as to produce an entire show around her. However, Mirabella tells her mother that she has fallen in love with Marco (a known play boy) and is flying to Italy to marry him. Convinced the man is up to no good and will ruin Mirabella's life, Harper prepares to follow Mirabella but when she drinks a "youth potion," she finds herself transformed into her 25-year-old self. Now using the alias of Debbie Hayworth, Harper befriends her daughter to ruin the wedding by trying to seduce her future son in law. When her ex-husband, Ryan, who has not spoken to her since the divorce, recognizes her, she uses the potion on him as well. While at the dinner rehearsal the night before the wedding, harper comes across a green house that is filled with Marco's unfinished wedding vows. As she realizes she may have misjudged Marco, she grabs all the letter to show her daughter before Mirabella confronts Marco of a so called brown eyed mistress (which was harper). As her daughter's wishes for her life, Harper also finds herself with a second chance to rekindle a lost spark with her ex husband after both talked about the real reason for his infidelity. Soon the wedding arrives and all is well with her daughter as they sing everlasting love
