    Where to Begin...Well It's 2021 and SHE'S the REAL MVP!
    You cannot make this up.

    Just cannot. IT's about woman good, man bad. THe dad is kind of the bad guy because you know he pays the money, tries his best to show up to games after the divorce, but she has to cook the meals and "suffers."

    I summed up the movie above. It's another Hollyweird pro feminist dribble, full of victim hood and men should thank women.
