Featured review
Good acting in what is "Just a story"
The story would have been a little all over the place, if it was not for the stability of the characters that play in it and the actors that act them out. The main character, Debb played by Uma Thurman, is a bit of a drama queen, that imagines a boyfriend that was only a one night stand (she could not have called it anything else since she almost begged him to take her for the night). She has a tendency to criticize all around her - allthough I could not understand why with her own emotional instability that would have validated some self investigation. Her friend, Beth, is a single mother who handles her situation well and is a real friend. Her mother, and really she is a mother to her daughter as cheese is to chalk, appears to be a really nice lady who enters into a warm relationship with an older gentleman. All in all the acting was superb and with a few obstacles to conquer in the story, as viewer a pleasant movie.
