Now titled Geraldine's Fortune or is that the other way around?, 19 September 2004
8/10
Author: kaya111 from Canada

I was just in the first ever audience for this film and it was a pleasure to be a part of that. It was a clever comedy that made use of Jane Curtin's talents in the title role. Backed up well by her zany family and friends - Geraldine (Deen) is off to play in a TV game show and has to appoint 3 little piggies among her friends and family. Deen has become a celebrity in town and all are after her for how she'll share the wealth if she wins. In the meantime she deals with a "fashionable" teenage daughter and jealous family (and a mysterious missing sister) and friends suffering their own difficulties (Sheila McCarthy plays Tina who is caring for an aged mother-in-law with some very hysterical scenes). It was a movie that you wondered early on if there would be more than the odd chuckle but as things moved along it ended up being a fairly funny, feel-good movie despite some heavy subject matter.
