first of all, not much comic as stated in the genre Movie is about a married lady life in turmoil after she suspects her husband on cheating her. Being unloved and insecure she is turning alcholic resulting in child and house ignorance ( as u can see unwashed dishes and clothes spread all around in the background). Her husband dies of heart problem. Laura tries to overcome her alcoholic tendencies and admit her son (Denis) to a private school out side the city on her imposing mother and sister demand. Alone & ignored, eager to have new friends, Dennis lies to his teachers and classmates that his father was a hero of 9/11. Laura reluctantly promises not to reveal the truth about his father death to friends. on the other hand, Laura was forced to file a case against the doctor who failed to diagnose her husband condition and claim insurance money for her family benefit. Attorney part has been played diligently. Inshort, there are some scenes in the movie which portray real life experiences but some points remain unanswered till the end like mother son relation and devotion in real sense

All I can say is wow. If you miss the time where movie made you feel real emotions then do not miss on this hidden treasure. Jenna Fischer is amazing as well as all of the supporting cast. well done!

I personally would give this movie 6.5/10 if possible; it isn't particularly good, but as other reviewers have commented, I appreciated the rawly exposed main character Laura (Jenna Fischer). I don't think the characters make believable individual families, but together the chemistry of the actors remind me of 'The Royal Tenenbaums', which I felt was as overrated as this movie is underrated. The plot of the movie is contrived, but if one looks at the writer/director (Michael J Weithorn), it makes perfect sense that the characters are very unique, but there is simply not enough time to develop them fully. The setting (Long Island, 2002) lends this movie some interesting flavor and some of the scenes where I laughed out loud were because they were ironic/sarcastic and generally dry, which I feel accurately depicts the vanilla suburbia that surrounds the concrete jungle of NYC. There is a theme of class warfare that I found interesting even if it did not develop into a great ending. For people who haven't seen it but might try it on Netflix, etc., it can best be explained like this: the first 25 minutes introduce many characters and would make an interesting TV pilot, and the rest of the movie tries to awkwardly make the people pieces fit together into a situation that would be better delivered as several half-hour episodes/seasons on basic cable. The ending is not particularly gratifying, but the reflections on life and the character development make it a sentimentally rewarding movie. Go into it with low expectations, and you will be pleasantly surprised. Watch it a second time, and you will be rewarded with its subtlety.

Very realistic! I laughed throughout the whole movie. Jenna is amazing! I already watched it twice and referred it to my dental hygienist co workers....loved it! My husband and I are joking and repeating some of the script about our everyday situations. We really loved the attorney part. He was also amazing and he would be an awesome attorney in real life! I have already saw this movie twice and plan to watch it again with my friends. The lie reminded me of my daughter when she was younger and it made that part so amusing. I thought Jenna and the attorney were so hilarious throughout the whole movie. I wouldn't mind watching a sequel to this movie. So funny!

Garbage watch, not watching again, and can't recommend. That said, there is an audience for this, and a lesson buried in the ending, but it honestly just feels like it's not finished. I generally like Jenna Fischer, I generally like it when a story plays with traditional story arcs, but this isn't a full story: it's just a sequence of events that happened in a character's life. That may sound similar to a plot, but there is a key difference that stories have a structure and value to it. I'm glad someone got to make this, it was probably helpful, and I'm sure it helped someone else to see the chaos of their life represented on screen. But most people should just skip this.

I have no problem with saying that the 10/10 reviews are nonsense. This piece of garbage is nothing more than a lengthy look at one person's terrible life...period. How is that entertainment? How is that worth watching when all of us have elements of that in our life. This is not art, not an important film, nor funny. Give your heads a shake people...this is just a waste of film and there's no ending, just a stop, and for that I thank them.

No real morality issue here, this is a story of people like Jenna Fisher ("The Office") who loses her husband (brief performance by Chris O'Donnell as handsome but cheating spouse), and has to re-think her life. Look for Brooke Smith as Jenna's resentful sister, she is jealous her sister was the prettier one and leads a "charmed life being lucky" according to her. Again, never judge a person by their externals, the same goes for the lies her son uses to pretend his dad died as a hero during 9/11, and there are some good scenes of their L.I. neighborhood. Overall good film with some stereotypes, nothing deep but good sardonic real-life humor, which I prefer to the usual drivel offered as comedy by Hollywood mainstream. 8/10.
