The premise is a Thelma and Louise style film about friendship between mature, but different women. We need films like that, but this one hasn't got the depth (even though it tries with a serious piano score and all). It treats heavy themes like divorce very lightly, but doesn't go fully into lighthearted comedy either. There's too much conflict and shouting for that. A conflict between a mother and her supportive daughter arise out of nowhere and gets resolved out of the blue later on. The writer shows little insight in why the characters behave the way they do.
The plot doesn't have any strong direction or development, it just meanders and throws in a couple of surprises. The film would have been etter as a full-fledged comedy like Smala Sussie. (It treads the waters, so why not dive all in?)
