Keri Russel has been robbed of an oscar nomination for this role just as Jennifer Aniston was years earlier for a very similar role in The Good Girl. This movie, however, is a little sweeter and less contemplative. We have a girl trapped in a loveless marriage, looking to escape. Her eyes carry the weight of the world and her composure is solid as a rock, Jenna is probably one of the cutest, most loveable characters on screen this year and we definitely yearn for her freedom. The plot is fairly simple, and fully charming as we see a woman fighting to survive an abusive marriage while falling in love with her OB GYN as she continues to get more pregnant(notice a theme this year?) and bakes the most delicious(or so we're told) pies around with very fun names like "I Don't Want Earl's Baby Pie." This film had a fairly quiet release, but is definitely a great movie to check out right now, especially as we deal with the schlock of January releases in theatres.
