Uma Thurman

I really wanted to like Motherhood

MotherhoodI wanted to like the film/DVD Motherhood. I really did. All the elements were there — a hassled mum with a seemingly slacker hubby, Uma Thurman AND Minnie Driver. And the main character is a mum blogger. A mum blogger! I should have loved it.

Well, I didn't and neither did the three other mums who watched it with me.

The overriding theme — how much mums give up when they ditch work in order to stay home with the kids — fell flat. It was a bit contrived and not very funny. Even Uma Thurman couldn't save this film. None of us could identify with the main character.
