This is an entertaining drama, which is not really going to tax your brain to much. It features the wives of a group of footballers in a fictional Premiership football team. Story-lines include attempted murder, drug abuse, adoption, adultery and a nurse who has a bit of a fetish for her comatose patients. All slightly far-fetched but so what?? US soap operas like Sunset Beach thrived on this. Real life footballer's wives such as Posh Spice (Mrs David Beckham) have criticized the program for being unrealistic but it does not claim to be a documentary.

This movie should be avoided at all costs. Paltrow, Black and Alexander all put in good performances but this does not kame up for such a poor script. The story is very predictable and over-sentimental, granted there were a couple of funny moments, but you will have saw these in the trailers so why bother. What annoyed me most about this film was Joe Viterelli attempt on what I assume to be an Irish accent. Did I miss something or was this supposed to be part of them joke? I for one did not find it funny!
