A stripper disrupts A suburban couple’s home life in this witty US indie starring Kathryn Hahn. She’s Rachel, a bored housewife with a distant husband (Josh Radnor) who rashly buys her a lap dance one night at a strip joint. Soon, Rachel’s befriended saucy teenager McKenna (Juno Temple) and invited her to live in their home and act as a nanny. It’s an amusing set-up that also takes a serious look at relationships, compromise and the potential confusion between sexual attraction and emotional needs. Performances are stronger than the direction but it’s a fun watch with top turns from its talented leads.
