    nice, but long and woman-y

    I did not care for Susan Sarandon's overbearing character.

  • July 28, 2009
    good, yet dysfunctional story
  • July 14, 2009
    Movie was alright but I think the plot was a little weak.

    I caught this movie I think about halfway in on HBO so i'm not sure how it started but it ended great. Natalie Portman plays Anne who has been moved from a small town to California because her mother played by Susan Sarandon who has hopes of being famous. She pushes her daughter ...( read more)to try out for acting roles but Anne doesn't wanna be an actress. Adele and Anne moved around alot because Adele could never find comfort in any location. This is a classic movie of the single mom trying to raise a daughter who is actually more grown up than her mother.

    i thought this film had a poor story line but it had a nice theme of dependence! as anne thought that she did not need her mum but ends up her mum needed anne more and in the end anne needed her too . best scene was probally when they were at the airport and anne seen her mother ...( read more)go in to state of panic when she could not find anne, this showed anne that her mum cared more than she thought! it was really sad at bit and you did not know weather to lobe or hate her mum, same as you did not know weather to feel sorry for anne ot not!!i thought it did feel like the story line was not going anywhere but it did have a happy ending!

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

You start wishing you were anywhere but here -- preferably at last year's far funnier Slums of Beverly Hills. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Sarandon bravely makes Adele into a person who is borderline insufferable. This isn't Auntie Mame, but someone with deep conflicts and inappropriate ways of addressing them. And Ann is complex, too. full review
