Eliza Welch (Thurman) is like any other mom with two kids, a loving but absent-minded husband (Edwards), and her own mom-blog ("The Bjorn Identity") - yet she's having a day that would challenge even the toughest multi-tasker. Eliza has to throw her daughter's 6th birthday party while a movie crew takes over her block, chase her tireless two-year-old son, navigate playground politics, walk an incontinent dog, juggle a new career opportunity, and realize what is truly valuable in her life... all in one day.This was a fun watch about how manic motherhood can be. I feel like it caught everything rather well and then factored in doing it in a major city. I could only imagine what that must be like. I'm not really sure how this movie didn't get a wider release. They should have marketed it around Mother's Day or something. Its not that its a good movie. Its not a bad watch either. It is ultimately just kind of there but there definitely could have been an audience for this if it was marketed better.
I would lukewarmly recommend people checking this out . . . . . . especially mothers trying to prove a point to their kids, husbands or friends.
