Rated PG-13 for language
Starring: Elaine Hendrix, Luke Perry, Jon Gries, LeAnn Rimes, Gary Grubbs
Directed by Jim Issa
The Story:
Etta (Hendrix) loves her husband (Perry) dearly. She's just tired of him blowing all of their money on get-rich quick schemes. So she takes matters into her own hands and puts on a ski mask and robs him. She takes the money to the local antique shop and buys some pieces from the dealer (Grubbs) hoping to make an investment for their children's futures. However, when the plan begins to unravel, can she save her marriage, and herself from going to jail?
Contrary to movie poster prominence, LeAnn Rimes is not the star of the film.
No, that would be Hendrix, and she does a fine job as the matriarch of the family who tries anything she can to do what is best for her family.
Yes, including armed robbery.
However, she's really harming nobody with her attempts, but when she finally goes over the line, there's no turning back.
Of course, once she's committed armed robbery, everything else she needs to do to survive will come fairly easily.
It's a cute enough little film that is fine for the whole family to sit back and enjoy.
Nothing ground-breaking, but it's got the heart in the right place.
Final Grade: C+
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: I could watch it again, but would have no reason to own it.
