Evening...










This movie did not get the best reviews, but I really liked it. I LOVED the stellar cast. So much talent shared by some of the greats. I love that there are two real life mother/daughter sets in this movie. I have always loved Meryl Streep, and her daughter Mamie Gummer, and Vanessa Redgrave and her daughter Natasha Richardson. I really like Toni Collette as well. Just a good movie. Josh of course went to bed, and gave me my "Deb Time" to watch it in peace. I'm pretty sure this is not a guy movie. But loved how if focuses on choices and how every single one affects our life in some way. Every road we choose to go down, takes us on a different journey. Anyway... I liked it. So if you ever have a couple extra hours to yourself and want to watch a good movie, check it out. Here is a brief synopsis of the movie...

Overcome by the power of memory, Ann Lord reveals a long-held secret to her concerned daughters; Constance, a content wife and mother, and Nina, a restless single woman. Both are bedside when Ann calls out for the man she loved more than any other. But who is this “Harris,” wonder her daughters, and what is he to our mother? While Constance and Nina try to take stock of Ann’s life and their own lives, their mother is tended to by a night nurse as she journeys in her mind back to a summer weekend some fifty years ago, when she was Ann Grant, a young woman who has come from New York City to be maid of honor at the high-society Newport wedding of her dearest friend from college, Lila Wittenborn. The bride-to-be is jittery, and turns to her maid-of-honor, rather than her own mother, for support. Ann stays close to her friend, yet is even closer to Lila's irrepressible brother Buddy. Unexpected feelings surge forth once Ann meets wedding guest Harris Arden, a lifelong friend and intimate of the Wittenborn family. Ann's love for Harris will change her life, and those of her daughters, forever.

I like this movie, too! I saw it with a girlfriend and we felt SO BAD for the one man in the theater! Total chick flick.
