Aw, What a Sweet, Kind, Loving Story :)


This silly tale really tugged at my heart strings.

I loved that it dealt with the variety in motherhood experiences and no story about parenting is complete without misunderstanding, mistakes, I'm not speaking to you's, and forgiveness.

It managed to go deep yet stay light.

And, thank you, Jennifer Aniston for the scene in the parked car. LOL LOL LOL

What I especially welcomed was depictions of women working together, whether that be grandmothers/inlaws, friends helping a widower date again, sisters and sister-inlaw dealing with parents, and a new step-mom cooperating with The mom and vice-versa and a career woman giving a younger woman a break.

And, not for nothing, depictions of men whom appreciate and support these imperfect, loving women around them.

A seriously under-rated film.

My wife and I were totally entertained, we found it better than the rather low IMDb rating would suggest.
