Review:
Another one of my random Netflix finds. I love Krysten Ritter in basically anything. She's just awesome. And Justin Kirk is just way too awesome. But I must say that I don't really like Kate Bosworth. There's just something about her that I just can't like. The movie is redeemed by a good storyline and fairly likable characters. I found this movie to be a decent depiction of life and friendship while being a mom.
Best Bits:
- Kim: I feel like a large chunk of hamburger that's been mooshed into a person.
- Francesca: It makes me crazy now-a-days that people have children when there's so many dogs that are in need of forever homes.
- Henri: Yeah! I can see you. Child on your hip, born to be a mom. Deena: And I see you. Mustache on your face, profiled on To Catch a Predator.
