How wonderful to see a strong, feisty, independent woman in a leading role! Shirley Knight's portrayal of Marie is warm, moving, and unforgettable. Take your Mom to see this movie.

The wonderful Shirley Knight deserves far, far better than this "hey kids, let's put on a show" home movie. Tom Skerritt is also poorly served. The "acting" from the rest of the cast -- along with the writing, directing, camera work, even sound -- is woefully, painfully bush league. I saw this at a preview screening in Oregon, and couldn't wait to bolt out of there as soon as it was over.
