201395 min5.7 / 10

A comedic-dramatic exploration of marital stagnation and sexual awakening that uses an unconventional friendship to examine desire, identity, and the gap between fantasy and reality.

Rachel is a quick-witted and lovable stay-at-home mom, frustrated with the responsibilities of her son's preschool, a lacklustre sex life and a career that's gone kaput. One night, intent on spicing up their marriage, she visits an LA strip club with her husband, where she meets McKenna, a stripper she adopts as her live-in nanny.
