What I thought:
I thought this movie was good, not great. I would probably give it 3/5 stars. First off I thought the acting was really good especially from Emma MacKey (Emma McKay) and Jamie Lee Curtis (Helen McKay). What I didn’t love about this movie, was there was A LOT of movie that I think would have been better suited for a limited series. I do like the stance of the political world that I think it still timely today. I will also add that I love the fact it was filmed in RI/Boston which added to the fun watching it and as a dentist, I love the tooth initiative in the storyline. It just seems liked a little too much that could have been condensed down a bit.
