The one sister so like boring & the other waaaay to much. U like drop your child & NEVER check on her, about an hr in had to turn off.

We found this film reasonably entertaining but if this is supposed to be 1993 as per description which is consistent with the 'feel' of the set and fashion, how do they have internet search and videos, and take selfies (on their flip phones)? Am I missing something here, or is this really poorly researched?

I watched this movie and it was horrible. One of the worst movies I have ever watched. I like Judith Light movies before, but this is not worth it. The two sisters are the worse actress's I have very seen on screen. Couldn't believe this even had 5 stars rating on IMDb.

I am flabbergasted by some of these negative reviews. This is definitely not a Hollywood picture, I guess. It is quirky, and maybe a bit contrived, but not hugely. It's a comedy, after all. But it's moving, funny, well-acted, and touches on some issues that aren't normally dealt with in the movies. And I love that it's a woman-centred picture! My only slight complaint was the young people's acting, which struck me as self-conscious, but hey, they're only 12 years old. But I was particularly impressed by Jen Tullock's performance. She is so authentic, so charming, so unique. (I know somebody just like her!!) I'd watch her in anything. Wow!

Was expecting some form of comedy / drama when watching this, but just got drama. That's fine and this film is reasonably OK for a drama. BUT, the comedy bit was missing. Did they forget to put it in? It's categorized as a comedy / drama. Who knows? Anyway, if you do watch this, expect drama and don't expect laughs.

For me, this dramedy was just painful to watch. Towards the end, there were some honest moments, but it was way too long a slog to get there. Overall, I'd say one to avoid.

I hate it when people not only write things for themselves but think they can direct themselves too. It's a "Look at me" festival. And it's boring as hell.

Two sisters learn that their mother, whom they thought dead, is still alive? Juicy, involving, emotional, perhaps comedic and insightful. All of which this film ISN'T. Based on the characterizations we see, people respond in a way the writers want them to, not the way human beings do. Mandy Patinkin has a thankless, embarrassing role. Judith Light is terrific, but she can't save this. Many people walked out of the screening I attended...
