Uma Thurman's 'Motherhood' gets a trailer

Wednesday, August 12, 2009 at 2:13AM | By

Uma Thurman will play a struggling mother in Katherine Dieckman's indie comedy "Motherhood," and a new trailer for the film has just debuted online. Check it out after the jump.

Thurman's character has to deal with quite a lot of nerve-racking things in the film, one of them being the preparations for her 6-year-old daughter’s birthday party. But there's a lot more, as you can see in this preview.

I'm not quite sure what to think of "Motherhood" at this stage. The trailer doesn't necessarily give off a vibe that intrigues me, but that sure doesn't mean the film's going to suck. I think I first have to get used to Thurman's wild hair and ugly glasses.

Also starring are Anthony Edwards, who plays her husband, and Minnie Driver, who's on-board as her best friend. "Motherhood" is set for limited release this October.
