Review of A Little Help

Laura andBob have a failing marriage. He cheats and she smokes and drinks beer-a lot! Their son has problems with both. His Dad spends little time with him and his Mother isn't interested. Laura's Mom and sister are both pushy and bossy. Her Dad is a wimp except when bragging about his career, the thing he most cares about in life. Bob dies and Laura continues on her beer addled life continuously making bad decisions. I didn't see bonding between Mother and son except for a short scene at the end. She almost (selfishly, as always) sleeps with her brother-in-law. The only positive in the movie was Laura coming to her senses and forgoing an affair. I found it to be a depressing movie with no direction, no lessons learned at the end. I watched the movie because I like Jenna Fischer. Pushing toward the positive could have made this more interesting.
