Falling for the Competition

Molly runs the local mom’s group and this year they’re entering the prestigious Modern Parenting Group of the Year award. When new to town Ashley sets up a rival dad’s group and starts usurping Molly and her team at charity bake-offs and smashing their times in fun-runs, will their competitive natures get in the way of what everyone else, including their children, can see – a spark worth fighting for?

Directed by Brittany Goodwin, Falling for the Competition leans on a strong ensemble — Francesca Barker McCormick, Michael Joseph Nelson, Lucy Capri — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about tv movie titles of 2023.
