MaryAnn’s quick take… This preposterous, stilted, often hilariously terrible domestic thriller twists maternal yearnings into a toxic parody of femininity. I’m “biast” (pro): nothing
I’m “biast” (con): nothing
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
Thing never to say: “Why don’t you just move into our guest house?” (Assuming you’re stinking filthy rich enough to have a guest house.) Another thing never to say: “You could also be our part-time nanny.” (Assuming you’re stinking filthy rich enough to be able to hire a nanny.) You’d think people in movies would know by now that such offers never end well.
So it is with doctors Brian (Nicolas Cage: Snowden) and Angela (Gina Gershon: P.S. I Love You) when they invite their new friend Katie (Nicky Whelan: The Wedding Ringer) to live in their guest house — with her small daughter...
