Baby blues and puppy love

Kelly & Cal (2014)

Directed by Jen McGowan this film stars Juliette Lewis, Jonny Weston, Josh Hopkins and Cybill Shepherd. Following the birth of her first child a married woman struggles to come to terms with being a mother in suburbia and befriends a recently disabled teenage boy.

Nothing is overly original about this tale of confused feelings of two people in emotionally bad states but it does handle it's content well. The plot is not overly melodramatic and while predictable is not annoyingly so. There are some decent performances from the cast but I would have prefered if they had something a little more unusual to work with.


3/5
