Plot Synopsis
Storyline
Eliza Kendall Welch (Uma Thurman), mother of, Clara, and Lucas, lives with her spouse, Avery McKendrik (Anthony Edwards), in an Manhattan apartment. Today is May 25th, Clara's 6th birthday, and she has to make arrangements for a party, as well as attend to day-to-day chores, including Blogging, and entering an online contest 'Motherhood', and looking after her invalid elderly neighbor and a dog. Things will slowly get out of hand after her car gets towed due to a film shooting; the tire on her bike gets punctured; she alienates herself from her friend, Sheila (Minnie Driver); Clara's name is misspelled on the cake; while Avery refuses to answer his cell-phone. After being assisted by a delivery man, Nikesh (Arjun Gupta), who finds her attractive, she concludes she has had enough, and decides not to return home. Written by rAjOo (gunwanti@hotmail.com)

I enjoyed the movie..If you aren't a parent then it will not make any sense to you. After watching the movie I sat and thought how hard my wife works, so I took her out to dinner that night.
Kudos to you hard working mothers that get it. I prefer not to dissect a movie, it may have been all over the board, in regards to a plot, but I live in California and thought, wow is parking that bad where they live?
I may not be a professional movie critic and sit on my butt all day long, but I'm a hard 60+ hour working dude that enjoys a couch, remote and a TV and I'm saying that I like the movie.
