Plot 411: It takes discovering that her husband is having an affair with a Saks perfume spritzer for one woman to truly uncover who she really is.

Review: This was a great female empowerment movie. All lead and supporting actors were female. Even the writer and director was female. Mostly it spoke about how women make sacrifices of themselves to please others and sometimes end up giving up who they really are. I think it's message about seeking your truest self is poignant. The fact that so many big-name actresses were involved only helps to further the vision. My favorite characters were played by Candice Bergen and Annette Bening. They both had some double-snap lines. I also liked how they highlighted that every woman is different.

Watch It: For inspiration for all that women can accomplish and achieve in life.

Skip It: If a cast full of women is too much estrogen for you to handle in a two-hour period.
