Not Thelma and Lou ise, but a very funny movie about women seeking justice against horrible men. It reminds me of Robert Graves poem which begins, "Why do such beautiful women marry such terrible men." Rachel Weisz is unrecognizable but very beautiful. The music is terrific and I really enjoyed this movie.
