OK, but I liked God Save the Queen! better. The humor in this one didn't quite hit the spot for me.
Ellie who has just had twins, now looks at herself and her marriage. Her weight is still there from pregnancy and her desire has not returned. Goin to an all female club hopefully everything will return back to mormal, but little does she know that trouble only begins.
