Ratings and reviews

This film brings unexpected laughs to a situation that is usually given the "lifetime" treatment. The support group scenes and the performances of the social workers ( Octavia and Tig) give this film balance. A real approach and good dialogue make this film a refreshing comic drama.

expected this to be pretty clever and funny, with the two leads; however, it just didn't take off. Thought it was quite dull.

Super funny and humorous! Lots of twists and turns in the plot line. Really enjoyed the movie. Sadly there was a lot of bad language. Would definitely recommend.
