Mixed Blessings
How to succeed despite the love and support of your family
Homemaker decides to return to her film-making roots and shoot a low-budget feature set in Maryland horse country. All of her family and friends pitch in to offer their support, with the exception of her husband, who is reluctant to take time off from his business career to watch after the kids. Everything seems to go well until...her psychic sister-in-law has a vision in which she sees her husband cheating on her, her free-wheeling sister decides to marry her Irish boyfriend so he can get a green card, the soap opera star who plays the lead turns out to be allergic to horses, and the ranch owner who was funding the project drops dead overnight...Our heroine has to do some creative string-pulling...
