Rachel is a quick-witted and lovable stay-at-home mom. Frustrated with the realities of preschool auctions, a lackluster sex life and career that's gone kaput, Rachel visits a strip club to spice up her marriage and meets McKenna, a stripper she adopts as her live-in nanny.
Six Feet Under scribe Jill Soloway offers a wry perspective on married life as Temple's stripper-with-a-heart is lobbed into this domestic yarn like a firecracker in an arms cache.
Soloway spikes the clichés with refreshingly rude humour, steadily darkens the mood and gets gold from her lead.
Diverting and well played, trips the light fantastic of character likability.
Also delves fearlessly into raw, intimate and uncomfortable areas that more conventional comedies would avoid like the plague.
Jill Soloway handles her tale of sexual mores with confidence and sympathy.
