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.
