CGiii Comment
It's definitely for grown-ups.
It is exactly as the title suggests. Potential gay husbands, kids (that may suffer gay pain) - all the usual worries, comforted by having a healthy bank balance.
Holofcener has simply extended her TV work onto the big screen. Unfortunately, it should remain on the small screen - there is nothing original or even likeable here.
There are some good actors trying their best with a lame script that bends more into the soap genre than cinema.
A bit like Brothers & Sisters, only less entertaining.

The(ir) Blurb...
Four women friends: three are wealthy and married plus there's Olivia, a former teacher who's now a maid. The marriages are in various states of health: Franny and Matt are happy and very rich. Christine and David write screenplays together, are remodeling their house, and argue. Jane is angry all the time and Aaron, who's an attentive husband, strikes everyone as gay. Franny sets up Olivia with a friend of hers, Mike, a personal trainer, and Olivia takes him with her to a couple of housecleaning jobs. A benefit dinner for ALS, an awkward guy named Marty whose place Olivia cleans, and a French maid's outfit figure in the story. Is there more to life than its problems?
