Alex (Heather Graham) gets laid off. She breaks up with her boyfriend after catching him sleeping with another woman. She punches a guy for trying to take a blouse she wants to buy. She's sentenced to 12 months in group therapy. Stella (Jennifer Coolidge), Nikki (Amber Heard), and Kim (Joey Lauren Adams) are some of the others in the women's group. Stella hires Alex to be her accountant. Alex rejects lascivious tax auditor Hutt and he starts stalking her. Kim is abused by her husband. Stella, Nikki, and Alex follow him after one such incident and end up ramming him off a cliff killing him. Police detective Dan investigates the case. He recognizes Alex from school and they start dating. Stella and Nikki start wrecking havoc against the men of Texas.Despite having a couple of pretty funny actors, this indie lacks big laughs. These are beautiful women with varying comedic skills. The material is where this movie falls short. Neither director John Inwood and writer Suzanne Weinert are that experienced. The writing lacks good jokes. Inwood is a functional TV director. The basic premise has potential for a black comedy but the writing is not funny enough.

This is by far one of the funniest and under-rated films I have seen in recent years. Jennifer Coolidge rocks as usual and she makes this film what it is. She is just funny with meaning to be or at least in a very unpretentious way. I love all these girls and have watched this movie over and over. The soundtrack also compliments this movie completely. This is a movie that doesn't go stale or off in left field like most do half way through. The story offers continuous laughs and keeps your attention. It has some very surprising takes along the way and keeps you guessing what's next. These girls are my hero's and this film was cast in absolute perfection as each one plays their roles perfectly and gives this movie a sense of reality. These characters all pull off their roles in a way that doesn't at all seem scripted but like you're watching an actual everyday happening. Thanks to everyone involved in this movie for offering such an entertaining and comical movie that I hope will gain all the recognition it deserves. My hat's off to these women.

I'm going to start with the positive. I really didn't recognize Amber Heard. The same Amber who were so great in "All the Boys love Mandy Lane" and should have been recognizable. Was it the colour of her hair, that made me not realize it was her? Whatever it was, she was really good in her role.On the other hand, this tries to ground itself into reality while being completely fantastical. Like the idea behind this or not, it is not well "executed" though (no pun intended). The twist almost saves the movie, though if you really think about it, it could also make the movie redundant. Depending on how you feel about it. While it might speak to the mind, heart and soul of some (women), this still is weak realization of an idea, with lots of clichés

I think the movie has real potential. Hilarious in many places through out the film. I loved the cast and the idea behind the script! Music selection could have been better, but that's what the screening process is all about. Great to see they used Texas as the main location, it brings some diversity to the movie industry and shows that Texas does have a lot to offer for the filming industry. Jennifer Coolidge made me laugh as she always does and up coming star Amber Heard really worked well with Coolidge. Heather Graham was a delight as always to see in the movie. She seems to always be able to bring a sense of familiarity to every film she's in and had the pleasure of meeting Sam Lloyd from Scrubs and had to say his acting was superb as always. He brought a funny yet ironic inside look portraying an IRS Agent. Hope to see it in theaters soon!!!!
