excellent portrayal of housewife justice, 20 August 1999
Author: Neph-2 from Australia

I thought this was an excellent statement that exemplified the saying that "those who live in glass houses should not throw stones." A great movie that made one feel that maybe, just perhaps, we can all come out on top sometimes with our dignity intact.
