CINEMA: 13th Avenue Warren, Wichita, KS
AUDTORIUM: 8
PRESENTATION: Dolby Digital Cinema, THX
PRESENTATION PROBLEMS: Volume a bit low, auditorium clock too bright
RATING: Two and one half stars (out of four)

THE PLOT: A woman invents a mop. Wackiness ensues.

Supposedly loosely based on the story of Miracle Mop inventor Joy Mangano, this is...well...the story of Joy Mangano. Except the Mangano family members are all only referred to by their first name and the mop is never referred to as the Miracle Mop. Was there a rights issue here? Is Mangano getting screwed? Given the focus of this story, that'd be ironic.

Anyway, the big problem is the whole thing is wrapped up way too quickly. Which honestly is probably for the better, but you still feel a little cheated.
