Writer and director Katherine Dieckmann posed the question, "Why aren't there any decent comedies about motherhood?" The answer: bring together Uma Thurman, Minnie Driver, and Anthony Edwards in a new film that highlights the highs and lows of one stay-at-home-mom. 

Taking place over a 24-hour period in New York City's West Village, Motherhood is a glimpse at what life is like for many moms.

Eliza, played by Uma Thurman, is a stay-at-home-mommy-blogger with two young children in this bittersweet comedy that looks at how motherhood defines us and how we define motherhood.

In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, $1.00 from every movie ticket purchased through Fandango will be donated to the Susan G. Komen fund (through November 6th). Motherhood opens in theatres Friday, October 23rd. Tickets are on sale now.
