    5/10
    An average movie with problems not solved till the end
    first of all, not much comic as stated in the genre Movie is about a married lady life in turmoil after she suspects her husband on cheating her. Being unloved and insecure she is turning alcholic resulting in child and house ignorance ( as u can see unwashed dishes and clothes spread all around in the background).

    Her husband dies of heart problem. Laura tries to overcome her alcoholic tendencies and admit her son (Denis) to a private school out side the city on her imposing mother and sister demand. Alone & ignored, eager to have new friends, Dennis lies to his teachers and classmates that his father was a hero of 9/11. Laura reluctantly promises not to reveal the truth about his father death to friends.

    on the other hand, Laura was forced to file a case against the doctor who failed to diagnose her husband condition and claim insurance money for her family benefit. Attorney part has been played diligently.

    Inshort, there are some scenes in the movie which portray real life experiences but some points remain unanswered till the end like mother son relation and devotion in real sense
