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.

This is a good movie to watch "for fun". Yep. It would be a good beach read if it were a book. There are some good points made, but the problem with good points is that the people who need them the most never "get" them. All in all, kids will be kids and strong moms will continue to be just that! How lucky people are who have them. :)
