My review · Reviewed 08/07/2025

I had really mixed feelings about this movie. While I enjoy many of the stars (Goldie Hawn is such a treasure), the movie was infuriating at times. This is the type of movie where a lot of bad things happen to one character, yet none of the other characters can believe the bad things happened even though it would be really easy to prove that they did happen. This same thing happened over and over again, even after the other characters began to realize that she was telling the truth. This movie has plot holes that you could drive a truck through. It is a decent movie for a rainy afternoon, and not much more.
