I’m
still not really sure what I thought of this movie. Charlize Theron plays a woman who has two
kids, including one with special needs that requires a LOT of attention and
patience, and is pregnant with another child.
When she is almost at her wits’ end after having her third child and
trying to keep up, her brother talks her into hiring a “night nanny” named
Tully. She is VERY reluctant at first,
but eventually gets comfortable with Tully and everything starts coming
together and working for everyone. It
felt real to me. Like an actual mom
trying to deal with everything. There
was quite a twist at the end I didn’t really care for, but the more I think about
it, the more I’m OK with it. I probably
don’t need to see it again, but overall, I’d say I liked this one.
