is the latest well-intentioned yet lousy-with-cliches treatment in the hard-luck-woman subgenre
Review rate : Cby Joe McGovern[Entertainment Weekly ]
although well-acted and well-intended, offers little that's new, exciting or meaty enough to warrant revisiting that subgenre of movies involving flighty single moms on the move with their steadier daughters
although sensitively handled in the film, it all adds up to an overload of baggage for a well-meaning but formulaic movie with not enough time to transcend predictable cliches
