Storyline

Amy has a seemingly perfect life - a great marriage, over-achieving kids, a beautiful home and a career. However, she's overworked, over-committed and exhausted to the point that she's about to snap. Fed up, she joins forces with two other over-stressed moms on a quest to liberate themselves from conventional responsibilities - going on a wild, un-mom-like binge of long overdue freedom, fun and self-indulgence - putting them on a collision course with PTA Queen Bee Gwendolyn and her clique of devoted perfect moms.

User Reviews

a failed attempt at a comedy about burn out

Review: The only thing I got from this movie is it's a cautionary tale about what could happen if you burn out. The direction and screenplay really aren't all that great. Neither the casting or the acting are all that great either. All in all I would give this zero out of a possible five stars.
