I would give "Tully" a mixed review. I thought Charlize Theron did a good job portraying a woman coming to grips with having a third child while trying to meet the needs of her two older children, especially her son who is 5 and seems to have special needs.

I was not happy with the husband. Granted, the guy had a demanding job, but his way of coping at night was to put on headphones and play video games. He was clueless to his wife's issues until almost the end of the movie.

Kind of a different movie to see on Mother's Day. Definitely not a June Cleaver portrayal of motherhood. No pearls and high heels were worn by Charlize Theron in this movie.
