Four women are best friends. Franny (Joan Cusack) is a stay at home mom with a trust fund and a loving husband Matt (Greg Germann). Jane (Frances McDormand) is a clothes designer and everybody thinks that her husband Aaron (Simon McBurney) is gay. Christine (Catherine Keener) is in a successful but combative TV writing relationship with her husband David (Jason Isaacs). Olivia (Jennifer Aniston) is the only one without money. She was a teacher at a fancy school who quited becoming a maid. Franny sets Olivia up with her trainer Mike (Scott Caan).
There are some fun exchanges and some fun observational relationship humor. The problem is that the movie is a bit random with so many characters and so many story lines. It's hard to keep track of everybody and even harder to track their emotional connections. I'd like for the movie to stay with one woman for longer than a minute at a time. It adds to the feeling of randomness. The movie would probably be better with one less woman.
