Let's be realistic.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

I didn't plan to write a comment, because it is just so average. Since there is zero comment before, I am compelled to write one.I got this DVD from a local library. From what I read on the cover, it seems to be an interesting movie to watch. I assumed that this might be a comedy. It was so boring, I didn't laugh a bit.The storyline is not bad, it tells about the life of an average married couple who have to struggle economically after the husband got fired. That is happening right now in the US in 2009. If it was well directed, this could be a hit movie, because many people are going through the same tough time right now.However, the directing is very amateur. After about 40 minutes or so, I just have to read a book while peeking at the TV once in a while, the cinematography is a little TV show quality. I simply can't stand sitting there just watching this movie. Some of the scenes don't make logical sense.
