Overview

It's a movie for everyone whose life has been thrown off-course, out of whack, or simply not turned out the way they planned it. In other words, it's a movie for everyone, period. Set in suburban Long Island in the summer of 2002, with the psychic wounds of 9/11 still fresh, A Little Help is a story that takes a comic, searching and profoundly empathetic look at a few pivotal months in the life of dental hygienist Laura Pehlke (Jenna Fischer)-an ordinary woman whose life suddenly flies off the rails-and her heroic efforts to re-establish a sense of security and normalcy for herself and her son.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A sharply observed portrait of a woman unraveling under the weight of a collapsing marriage, parental obligations, and post-9/11 anxiety, told with enough dark humor and humanity to feel both comic and devastating.
