unrealistic but funny/cute
8 September 2019 | by novagirl11 – See all my reviews

The costume designer made some questionable decisions about Patricia Arquette's wardrobe. It was pretty unrealistic - I don't know any mothers that would act the way these characters do. That said, the movie did make me laugh and parts of it were kinda cute.
