About a group of pleasantly neurotic and wholly believable women in a chick flick far removed from Ya-Ya's grating annoyance.

Emerges as something rare, an issue movie that's so honest and keenly observed that it doesn't feel like one.

A lively and engaging examination of how similar obsessions can dominate a family.
