Good, heartwarming movie with fine performances from all involved (even Gloria Estefan!!!). Watching Streep and Bassett--two of the finest actresses of our time--is a joy to watch. Streep in particular is in fine form--she manages to make her character's setbacks believable without slipping over the line into tragic heroine. The script has more than its share of genuinely funny moments, moments where you look at the characters on the screen and say, "Oh, that is SO my mother!" or "If my kids pulled that....."
Go, go, go see this movie!
