    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Susan Sarandon informed the movie's producers that she would not be interested in the project if Natalie Portman was not cast as her daughter.
    • Goofs
      In the scene where Adele wakes up Ann to go see the sun rise, they are looking West out on the Pacific Ocean, but the sun would be rising in the East, not the West. To view anything in that direction, they would be watching the sun set.
    • Quotes

      Ann: You don't have a job in the Los Angeles school district.

      Adele: I have an interview, and a great outfit.

    Anywhere and Everywhere

    I picked this movie up because I was curious to see Natalie Portman in something that was pre Star Wars. I liked this movie. Natalie and Susan were wonderful as mother and daughter. Susan Sarandon is such an outstanding actor. Better and better with every movie she does.
