Tully is NOT a comedy.

It is extremely well done, never loses your interest and is very moving.

Thank you for the recommendation.

The critics rate it higher than the audience which is rare for Rotten Tomatoes.
Still - it's early days.
Thanks for the recommendation. I plan to see Tully.

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.

We plan on seeing Tully soon. Like the Trailer.

Trivia:

Charlize Theron most notably transformed her body for her Oscar-winning performance in 2003 film Monster, and now she’s done it again for her latest role in Tully—with a lot of help from the snack aisle.

On Wednesday’s episode of The Ellen Show, the actress opened up about how she gained 50 lbs. for the film, in which she plays an exhausted mother of three who befriends her new nanny. “I ate a lot of everything, but my drug of choice is potato chips,” she said. “I ate them everywhere. I had a bag in my car, a bag in the bathroom, a bag in the kitchen, a bag on the counter, a bag in my trailer. Everywhere I went there was just a bag.”

This time, though, she acknowledged it was harder to bounce back. “I was younger [during Monster], I was like 27,” Theron, now 42, said. “I just didn’t snack for a week and I was back into shape; it was insane. That doesn’t happen anymore!”
