Women In Trouble (2009) 8/10

Starring : Carla Gugino, Connie Britton, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Marley Shelton, Adrianne Palicki, Simon Baker, Sarah Clarke
Director : Sebastian Gutierrez
Running Time : 96 mins

Adult movie star Elektra Luxx (Gugino) discovers she is pregnant, and whilst pondering what to do with the baby, she gets trapped in a lift with Doris (Britton), a woman who gave her child up to her sister when she was young. Meanwhile, Elektra’s latest co-star Holly (Palicki) is moping over her friend Bambi (Chriqui) forgetting her birthday - and the fact that she is in love with her - and therapist Maxine (Clarke) finds herself out on the tiles with Holly and Bambi when she discovers that her husband Travis (Baker) has been cheating on her.

This is a pretty funny movie with some obvious but still funny characters, with Palicki having some outstanding moments and some great ditzy lines. The interwoven story lines work extremely well and the fact that - regardless of their sexual preferences - all the character’s have trouble with their love lives makes this an easily accessible romp. Plus, don’t miss the scenes after the credits with Joseph Gordon-Levitt interviewing Elektra and Holly, it’s very good.
