Five single women are having trouble. Problems include needing to work too many hours, dealing with difficult ex's, depression, unwanted suitors, unrealized aspirations, and, of course, loving children who can act out. One day, all five are summoned to the principal's office at their well-reputed private school. Two of the kids have been caught painting graffiti and the others were smoking. Because of this, the principal informs them, this quintet of ladies will be planning the fund-raising school dance. Ouch. As some of the mothers don't really know one another, this seems challenging. But, lo and behold, once the gals start working together, they form a support group that works for each other's benefit, including taking turns babysitting so that everyone can have a "night out". Meanwhile, each woman connects with an interested male, surprisingly, and begins or extends a relationship. Then, a crisis occurs which may split the group apart. Will it be so? This lovely, funny, and sweet movie will please fans of romantic comedy and those who adore Mr. Perry, who is one of the cast members, too, as well as the writer and director. What a tour de force this man is! The rest of the cast, too numerous to mention by name, is very attractive and talented, making for a great view. Kudos to the child actors as well. The setting is also extremely fetching, as are the costumes and cinematography. Perhaps some mention should be made of a couple of minor problems. There is some sexual innuendos and one of the ladies tends to actually "beat up" on the man who has a crush on her. It's funny but annoying at the same time. Nevertheless, all of you potential fans, make plans to catch this one. It is a singularly welcome movie.
