Reese Witherspoon, OCD and a Baby in ‘Rule #1’
When you have obsessive-compulsive disorder and you immerse yourself in whatever triggers your deepest anxieties, it’s called “exposure therapy.” When you do it in a movie, it’s called “Rule #1,” and it stars Reese Witherspoon.
Witherspoon is in talks to star as Diana McBride, a woman with OCD who tries to wrangle her anxiety (and get her husband back) by, letting a young woman with a baby come live with her.
How that figures into McBride’s OCD has yet to be seen, but hopefully this won’t be played totally for laughs.
