Plot

When film star Megan Valentine (Jessica Simpson) suddenly finds herself broke and humiliated in the public eye, she wanders from the wreckage of a car accident and witlessly enlists in the United States Army, hoping that it will change her life. The spoiled actress immediately finds herself at odds with her tough drill sergeants and the harsh discipline of Army life, leading to many humorous situations.

In the end, Valentine wins the respect of her fellow trainees, and they all graduate together. She also recovers her house and the money that she lost. In the end, she changes and becomes a better person.
