I had heard and read great stuff about this flick and was flabbergasted at how disappointed I was, even at Janet McTeer's performance. I saw nothing attractive at all in the premise of the film - yet another "road pic" (and always to California, why not Alaska, South Carolina, British Columbia). The instability of the mother underlying the insecurity of the daughter, the daughter mothering the mother ( and where oh where are the fathers of these children ?). Completely predictable from start to finish, down to the kid finding Mr. Right ( I mean can't you see how THAT would end) and the thigh slapping humour of feminine products plastered to all parts of the anatomy. Very disappointing.
