This tells the story of Grace, (Roberts), & her husband Eddie, (Quaid), & what appears to be their perfect marriage. Until one day that is when Grace sees Eddie kissing another woman in the street. It turns out that Eddie has been cheating on Grace with not just one woman but several.
Grace works for her father, (Duvalll), at his stables & he is less than pleased when he learns that Grace has left Eddie & has returned to the family home. He has an important business deal with Eddie coming up & thinks she should reconcile with him because of it. Her mother, (Rowlands), is also less than pleased although she changes her way of thinking when Grace lets her in on a few home truths.
Grace's sister, played by Kyra Sedgwick, is delightful. She seems to be the only one who agrees with Grace that Eddie should be made to suffer for his infidelities. She manages to cause a great deal of pain to Eddie in one particular scene that had me laughing out loud.
Through alll of this, Grace continues to work & raise her daughter. She also continues to go to her weekly baking club where it seems alll the towns womenfolk gather to swap recipies and, of course, the latest piece of gossip.
One of my favourite scenes is when Grace decides to have Eddie round to dinner so they can discuss their problems in a civilised manner, & she quite innocently dishes up a meal of poisoned fish!!! What ensues is delightfully comical as Eddie realsises what she has done to him!
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie & recommend it to alll girls who fancy a nice, cosy night in with the duvet & a tub of ice cream!
