When you think "Ricki Lake," your brain is going to associate with it one of two things: Hairspray or Ricki. Take your pick, because nausea follows both. But what follows when you've got Ricki in a bathtub giving birth to a baby? Whatever it is, they should torture Iraqi insurgents with it.
Or at least show them The Business of Being Born, Ricki's documentary about the child bearing industry, which amounts to hospitals opting for C-sections more often because you can plan them on the calendar and, supposedly, they're safer than the typical vaginal birth, which mankind has been foolishly relying on for tens of thousands of years. In the film, which premieres at Tribeca, you'll see Ricki spitting out her second child, Owen. The one thing you'll thank her for: Losing 24 pounds before dumping in the sea salt.
I always think Serial Mom.
um… there's already a movie out just like this. It's called Born in the USA and you don't have to look at Rick Lake for an hour and a half!
