sometimes_i_getWow, what a colossal waste of time. This is the most boring and annoying movie I've seen in a long time.
It constantly makes fun of women (Jenny for constantly thinking of propriety and her kids, Helen for being inappropriate and not thinking of kids), shows lies as acceptable (Helen lies constantly and it's never shown as wrong, only funny at couple of points), shows male interest to be primary even when women object to it (the pastor continues insisting on relationship with Helen even after she refused his advances TWICE and she has to ask him to leave two times every time).
The situation itself is unrealistic, characters' behavior is ridiculous, dialogue is fake and stilted, ugh.
