Jenna Fischer (TV's The Office) gives "a game-changing performance" (The New York Post) in this irresistible and offbeat award-winning comedy set in 2002. Laura, a Long Island dental hygienist, sneaks cigarettes and pounds back beers to cope with her unfaithful husband (Chris O'Donnell, Scent of a Woman), overbearing family, and a brother-in-law (Rob Benedict, Supernatural), who’s loved her since high school. Her life really spins out of control when her husband suddenly dies and her 12-year-old son (Daniel Yelsky) tells an outrageous lie at school to impress his new classmates. Laura’s going to need a little help to settle into a normal life…or a lot more beer! Academy Award-nominee Lesley Ann Warren (Victor/Victoria), Ron Leibman (Norma Rae) and Brooke Smith (Silence of the Lambs) costar in this " highly entertaining and richly human movie experience" (Box Office) from the creator of King of Queens.
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.

This is NOT a ComedyI found this movie listed under "New and Noteworthy: Comedy." It is not a comedy! It is a drama. Why does the iTunes Store list dramas under the Comedy genre? This is the second movie that IS NOT A COMEDY that I have rented after finding it under the COMEDY section of iTunes. Other than that, it is an okay drama with very little upside at the end. If you want to be inspired, do not watch this movie..Score: 1/5
NOT a comedy!I really liked Jenna Fischer and the guy that played her brother in law but this is not in any way a comedy. In fact I kinda find it a bit disturbing that anyone would even classify this as a comedy. It says really bad things about our culture as a whole. People cheating on their spouses, people being widowed, kids left without a parent, families trying to make it through after the death of a parent, mindless emotionally destructive sex with strangers. If anything it just shows how we lie to ourselves both as children and as adults and how those lies make our lives miserable in the long run. Just would have been nice if they had offered an honest and positive solution for people to deal with their problems rather than lying, cheating, drinking and doing drugs. No real answers to the problems it presents and is in no way a comedy..Score: 3/5

GreatThis is a great movie about getting on with the rest of your life when the plan falls apart and how hard and confusing your way can be when you choose not to live someone else's life but create your own..Score: 5/5

Painfully pointless.Almost 2 hours of a "Comedy" that feels more like a drama where everyone treats everybody else like crap. I can see that in my everyday life; I don't need to pay for that. It's a movie that does a better job bumming you out than making you laugh. Completely unfunny most of the time. An occasional chuckle. Hard pass. A rental at best, if even that..Score: 1/5
