This was a nice little television film that popped up over a decade back. Katherine (Courtney Cox) and Philip (John Terlesky) are young marrieds and they are expecting their first child. The problem is that their two mothers are Marie and Helen (Suzanne Pleshette and Debbie Reynolds) who are like oil and vinegar. It is not that they have nothing in common - it's they have too much in common (both are good looking, middle aged women, and both are unattached). So that the inevitable rivalry between the in-law moms is sharpened when they both confront the arrival of their first grandchild, and how they have to share it with each other.
The sequences were quite amusing as both traded sweetly suggestive barbs with each other. To me the culmination (in terms of cinematography) was a sequence when both are notified that there is an emergency at the newlyweds' home, both jump into their cars, and both go at full "damn the torpedoes" speed to the destination. The result is that both of their cars ram each other front to front in the driveway (neither lady is hurt, but the cars are badly damaged).
On the whole it was a very cute film.
