I Could Never Be Your Woman received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $9.6 million worldwide against a production budget of $25 million.

Rosie, a 45-year-old divorced mother, works as a writer and producer for the television sitcom You Go Girl. Insecure about her age, she relies on cosmetics to maintain her appearance. She maintains a close relationship with her 13-year-old daughter, Izzie, who confides in her about her crush on a boy named Dylan.

Rosie's boss, Marty, informs the writers that they must avoid controversial subjects due to the show's declining ratings. Seeking to revitalize the show, Rosie decides to introduce a new character. She casts Adam, a charismatic young man, as a nerdy character to serve as a love interest for the show's lead actress, Brianna. Adam's character tests well with audiences, and Rosie successfully convinces Marty to retain him.

Rosie and Adam begin spending time together outside of work. During a night out, Rosie claims to be 37 years old, while Adam claims to be 32. After dancing together, Rosie admits she is 40, and Adam confesses he is 29. Despite Rosie's concerns about their age difference, Adam reassures her, and they begin a relationship. However, Rosie's insecurities persist, exacerbated by her internal conversations with an imagined Mother Nature figure.

Rosie's secretary, Jeannie, becomes jealous of Rosie's relationship with Adam. She sabotages the relationship by stealing gifts Adam intended for Rosie and planting a photograph of Brianna in Adam's phone. Rosie later overhears a recording of Adam flirting with Brianna, unaware that it was done at the producers' request. Meanwhile, Izzie's unsuccessful attempt to impress Dylan leads to further strain at home.

Adam's debut on You Go Girl proves successful, but the show's sudden cancellation and Adam's rising fame intensify Rosie's fears about their future. After receiving a speeding ticket photo showing Adam with Brianna, Rosie accuses him of infidelity and ends their relationship. Adam attempts to reconcile, including offering to leverage his new sitcom role to secure Rosie a producing job. Marty offers Rosie a position as supervising producer, which she initially declines.

While reviewing a blooper reel from You Go Girl, Rosie realizes that Adam was filming at the time the speeding ticket photo was taken and deduces that Jeannie was responsible for the sabotage. She accepts the producing position on Adam's new show on the condition that Marty fire Jeannie. Rosie reconciles with Adam.
