Juliette Lewis pretends to be a hipster rebel for 1 minute and a half, makes a cute wheel chair bound teenage guy next door fall in love with her whiny persona, reveals herself as a Courtney Love rock chick from the 90s, but then rapidly turns back into a Stepford wife.

This film is so wrong on so many levels. It teaches women that it's better to stay in a comatose marriage where the love has faded, where one's true personality has disappeared, where the in laws are uptight suburban psychopaths always intruding into your life, and that you have to become a snivelling wreck crying and begging your husband for forgiveness, because you managed to escape from that hell for a while and actually felt the magic of life and love again with a teenage guy who is being discounted because of his young age. What a rebel? Not!

Kelly (Juliette Lewis) is a former musician turned suburban mom. She hasn't had sex with husband Josh (Josh Hopkins) for 6 months since the birth of their baby. She is uncertain about her new life and struggling as a new mom. She befriends wheelchair-bound flirtatious neighborhood teen Cal McCullen (Jonny Weston). She's hounded by her in-laws Bev (Cybill Shepherd) and Julie (Lucy Owen).

There are some funny moments like her friends with pictures of a dog. There are poignant moments. There are tough moments. There are awkward moments. It all adds up to an uneven movie. Juliette Lewis is terrific transitioning between the emotional turmoils. I wish this was something simply with Kelly & Cal starting a band. The filmmaker seems intent on going for a higher degree of difficulty and don't quite make it.

I just saw this off Showtime, and LOVE LOVE this movie! Juliette Lewis is very sexy in this, letting her age show for the first time on film. She plays a former lead singer of an all-female punk rock group now taking up life in the suburbs as a new mom and wife. Josh Hopkins ("CougarTown") plays her hubbie who is stuck at the office all day, leaving her to start hanging out with the next door high school wheelchair-bound teen, played excellently by newcomer Jonny Weston.

Their relationship starts to evolve into something more as events happen, and wow!- there are some scenes in this that blew my mind! This film is sorta the reverse of all those May-December romances between an older leading man and younger actress there have been over the years- "Lost In Translation", "My First Mister", "ShopGirl", etc.. Big thumbs up for this one!.......
