"Her talent was real. Her résumé was not."

Dec 21 2018 PG-13 1h 43m
Comedy, Drama, Romance

Value Shop assistant manager Maya Vargas wants only one thing for her 43rd birthday -- a promotion. While her résumé may not scream upper management, her track record certainly does; she is an innovator who listens to her customers and delivers results. When she loses the job to a college-educated candidate, Maya sets out to prove to Madison Avenue that street smarts are as valuable as book smarts -- and it's never too late for a second act.

Plot

A big-box store worker reinvents her life and her life-story and shows Madison Avenue what street smarts can do.
