It’s not my favorite movie because it felt rushed but it still was a cute story. I’m giving five stars because the top comment was homophobic and it’s 2023 people. Get with the program and look at your dark hateful heart instead of preaching about “love” from Jesus when clearly you’re not reading very closely your precious Bible.

Does this pass the Bechtel test? I rarely leave reviews but this show was so confusing. At least she went to therapy but still there’s an underlying message that really didn’t add up. First, unrealistic body types. I don’t think that many good looking people are all friends and their kids all go to the same schools. And their ONLY issue is sex. That to me is not real life, couples struggle with SO many other things. It wasn’t even soap-opera like, it was just one dimensional characters, flash back and forth of sex scenes, no overall plot then some hot ex boyfriend that just POPPED into her head YEARS later. The message I also got was this woman is obviously struggling with some post-partum mental health. And also just the struggle of motherhood/womanhood. She did not wake up after 8 years to be like oh I want to be with this, as she says herself, unstable bad boy. I know entertainment isn’t supposed to be realistic but I know there have to be moms out there struggling that this is just a bad message for them to see. This woman is still lying to her husband after begging him to work on their marriage. I don’t think that’s fair to her, herself, or her kids. I really felt at the end okay, this woman has empowered herself she sees what she needs she’s asking for what she is saying she needs, but no she needs this DUDE. That her life is enough when he’s in it but not in any capacity other than for sex. Just to shout out a show that I feel shows sex/real life in a realistic plot is Workin’ Moms. If you’re struggling, go watch that show instead of this one.
