See more Comedy starring Uma Thurman. Frazzled Manhattan housewife and mother-of-two Eliza Welsh (Thurman) is having a bad day. On top of the usual frantic round of getting her six-year-old daughter Clara (Daisy tahan) off to school, the dog walked and her young son to the park, she must organise Clara's birthday party and finish a 500-word article for a magazine - as well as trying to 'be there' for her busy husband and emotionally needy friends. Add to that her car getting towed and various other mishaps, and Eliza is soon reduced to emotional rubble. Can she pull herself together in time to make Clara's birthday party memorable for all the right reasons?

Our review

"Part slummy mummy, part cut-price Carrie Bradshaw and all-round annoying, Uma Thurman’s whiny blogger won’t inspire solidarity, just irritation and despair. Vaguely decent premise, utterly dire execution."
