Storyline

Several women (and one girl) in L.A. are hiding something from someone else, or discovering something hidden from them. Maxine, a therapist, discovers her husband cheating on her with the mother of Charlotte, a 13-year old patient. Addy (the other woman) and her sister Doris have withheld from the girl the truth of her parentage. Holly, an adult film actor, isn't telling her friend Bambi how she feels about her, and another actor, Elektra, who discovers she's pregnant, hasn't told the baby's father that she loves him. A stuck elevator, a car crash, mid-air turbulence, a flight attendant, a shotgun-wielding bartender, and her roommate, who's a masseuse, help these women communicate.

User Reviews

An amazing movie

This is my first review and my English is very poor so I won't say much. I bought this DVD some time ago along with other ones and I never cared about watching it.. so, maybe just to convince myself I didn't spent my money for nothing, I decided to give it a chance. OK, I just finished watching it right now, and I have to say I'm completely astonished. This movie is brilliant. It's clever, smart, fun, touching.. it made me laugh and it made me cry. I'll definitely watch it again soon and I'll recommend it to as many people as I can. I won't say more because as I said my English isn't good and I don't want to mess things up, but I can say this movie just become one of my all-time favorites.
