Accurate portrayal of mother-daughter relationship
This movie is an astute portrayal of a mother’s relationship with her daughter. The specificities and little details help the relationship feel real. Good character detail, and even though not a whole lot happens, it is overall a great dramedy.
Biggest meddler since Rose in Gypsy.
Susan Serandon stars as the meddler. She is the kind of mother you would wish for as long as you are not her daughter. All the other female characters want her as their mother.The movie is an outstanding written and directed work. Often the writer director starts the movie too late or won’t cut a word or scene of their brilliant writing. Here it is a perfect title, perfect start and near perfect script. Many male characters are a bit thinly written and seem like props not people.
So what if the action cuts from Bennett’s in the Farmers Market to the fountains in the Grove like they are a step away. It seemed the writer needed a car stolen even though it was parked in the most highly visible space at Fisherman’s Village in a controlled exit parking lot. The coincidence of walking onto the set to meet JK Simmons was fun but also seemed contrived. Was the credited Sam Ruben left on the cutting room floor when the channel Five morning news team was moved to eight?
Susan Serandon, dressed mostly in animal print tops, carries this movie gracefully on her back. She is in every scene and very convincing. There is an outstanding use of music that adds to the fun and carries lots some scenes to a higher level.
The movie looks good on the wide screen theater screen. It is a small movie that isn’t receiving big studio marketing promotion. It is the type of movie that will benefit from positive word of mouth. Find it in limited release or enjoy it on a home platform.
