This movie started out with a happy couple, yes Tina was strong, which is what I like, as she told Don toward the end of the movie he was afraid of, which is true, I can say that because I've seen it. Before they even stepped into Tina's and Wayne's home Don had already made his mind up, and it never changed, Karen who thought that Tina was attacking her found out why as Tina spoke to her about her feelings, and what women, and men do, these things were too spot on for Karen. The two men were weak in this movie Wayne as he said changed his mind from before, which a person is aloud to do, but you can't be mad at Tina, because what happened previously was her doing what he wanted, because she loved him so, Kiki was weak needing someone to take care of her, believing that a married man would leave his wife for her, saying that everytime he gets ready to leave her she gets pregnant, she blamed her for that, but men will do that everytime so they can have their piece on the side, which is true of Don, he has to control Karen every chance he got. Tina fought back, which is something he didn't like, he wanted Tina to be Pretty and Submissive to Wayne as Karen was to him. His idea was to break up a strong woman from a loving, but weak man who got all of her. Tina never told Karen's secret, but as Karen and Don were leaving she did say some words that secured Karen's future with Don, she didn't want her to do, but after that Don gave, she was happy Tina did, even after Don came there and ruined her family life. Kiki on the other hand got a man who cared for her, because Don only cared about himself and no one else, which is super weak, which Karen and her were. Wayne at the end came to her art opening, with something they both wanted, after seeing her so she could see how the EGG turned out, he and the product of the EGG lefted. She tried to them through the crowd, but they were gone all because of the overbearing Don who broke them up out of spite.
Excellent acting by all actors, dealing with real issues that many women facing now a days. It feels like a play mostly for the great writing. More power to women directors for creating films like this
This is an odd film about motherhood.
Tina is a successful artist who invites her long time now-impregnant rival Karen, along with both their husbands, for a visit.
The film tries to imitate the amazing "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf" (1968) but instead of having the complex, multi-layered and fascinating character of Martha, we get Tina, and instead of witty, absurd philocophical dialogue we get almost two hours of painful passive agressive behaviour that leads nowhere.
The characters never become real, and the plot quickly becomes a bore. It always seems like the plot is trying to get somewhere - but never does. That at least until the very end, when the film was finally abouy to get to a climax, only to end in a cliched way.
The film is not necessarily awful, though. There are some moments of joy and tension, even some pretty funny jokes. Sadly, they are not enough to make up for wierd narrative and the poorly written characters.

I've seen all of the actors in other movies before and I wasn't disappointed to see them now, but I cannot get by the fact that everyone in this movie was completely selfish. I watch movies to escape real life, the last thing I need to see is people being horrible to each other and claiming to actually love them while doing it. What a depressing state if this is how Hollywood sees us
I have to say this is one of the best conceived and acted films I have watched in a long time; it seems as if it might transfer very well to the stage if someone wanted to bother.
What I must comment on is the classification of "comedy". Perhaps for singles or people that are disillusioned with relationships and parenthood, this might seem funny, but if you are a conscientious parent or in a willingly committed relationship, this was far from funny.
Every single one of the characters were well-acted and very believable so that I saw very close similarities from my own social circle and the subject matter was very dark.
I would classify this as "drama" and remove the "comedy" tag.
