Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: |
Single mom with two daughters pursues her dream of becoming a standup comic and, virtually overnight, her career takes off--leaving her girls in second place. Kavner is perfect, the girls are adorable and the story is certainly credible--but somehow the film doesn't quite deliver. Directing debut for writer Ephron (who penned this script with sister Delia), based on Meg Wolitzer's novel This Is Your Life.
