On My Honor
Troop 2185 are the baddest Girl Scouts in suburban Boston and their grownups have had it. The other moms have given up, leaving just Julie's mom Michelle to lead with Molly's flaky, spacey mom Liz. When new-to-town Janet signs up her daughter Brianna, Michelle is cautiously hopeful. Meanwhile, Michelle's husband David, when not trying to talk she and Julie into quitting Scouts, is trying to reach out to his newly divorced commute buddy Kevin. In a year of spectacularly bad field trips, new friendships, and precocious 10-year-olds with a lot to say, On My Honor is a comedy about trying to be an adult when you still feel like a kid. (Full-length; 7W, 2M)
