Absolutely Fantastic

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Clever, quirky, mischievous writing. Kargman is a genius. But I skipped forward to all her scenes with Andy Buckley. I loved that portrayal of a marriage - the humor and the rapport. Buckley is totally adorable and should be a much bigger star. He should be getting James Garner type roles.

So basically it's about an upper class mum. Stressed out at not being as rich as the other upper class mums. THAT IS LITERALLY THE CONCEPT. It doesn't have enough laughs to make it worth while, and it just owns up to its xenophobia without giving a s**t. It's disgustingly offensive and tries to humanise and make you root for a woman who is just living through 100% first world problems

There are some shows that you only watch 5 min and you know it's a total gem...this is it! It is refreshing and even though the plot/scenario (odd mom trying to survive a bunch of rich snobs) is done over and over...the jokes are incredibly funny and new! the casting is also fabulous, great chemistry and interaction between everyone. I know some people weren't pleased with the female lead and found her annoying...but I think she is suppose to be like this...chirpy and all over the place, scattered attention and trying to catch up to rich society.Please give this a try!

Add this to the growing list of female-driven comedies that turn the male-oriented world upside-down! Jill Kargman has made it possible to relate to a society that is far beyond my own reach (I make less than $10,000 a year so I have zero exposure to the life she exposes on the show). She pokes fun at the privileged (and usually spoiled) without mercy even though she herself is somewhat part of that circle. The writing is witty and incredibly funny. I'm shocked that this is her only acting credit as it's obvious that she knows acting like she's done it her whole life. I'm really interested to know whether or not she's been in Broadway productions or something because she's obviously honed her skill SOMEWHERE.My favorite scene so far is where she helps a "friend" with a delivery. I was stunned at how raw and funny the whole scene was. I couldn't catch my breath because I was laughing so hard! And I actually learned something about giving birth I never would have imagined! LOL Aside from the brilliant Jill Kargman there is a stellar cast of well-known and not so well-known actors and actresses, who have also get to have their own funny moments in the series. Well done, Jill!
