What oppresses the average white suburban working mother?
Its not pesky Mexican drug warlords, thats for sure.
She runs late to work, in heels.
She misses part of her daughters birthday party because her tyrannical boss makes her work overtime.
She and Chris dont seem to have enough money to buy a house.
Its veryBig Little Lies.Its very Peg.
This is the main plot of the movie or so Big Hollywood wants us to believe.
For example: She steals $50,000 from her job (vengeance on her mean boss!).
Shes about to kill the main drug lord, but stops when his daughter appears.
Its like a Best Mom Ever mug, on steroids.
She can have it all.

The ultimate tragedy: an embarrassing divorce!
Of course, the Vanquishing of Peg could never actually happen.
Its toogotcha,too perfect.
None of us get to defeat our enemies with quite such a satisfyingthunk.
