User Reviews

As phony as a three-dollar bill.

This movie was incredibly bad. It had a terrible ear for dialogue, and for the kinds of choices middle-class, feminist women have had to deal with over the decades. Why is it that so many writers get that period so wrong? I could not watch it through to the end.
