Half the time she's spouting world-weary wisdom; the other half, she's so inexplicably dopey, you want to dump a bucket of coffee on her and tell her to get a freakin' clue.

The whole idea that this mom is on the one hand such a liberated open-minded feminist, and other the other hand, so clueless about how to raise her kid, just seems ludicrous. There might be some familiar nods and smiles for viewers who recall the 1970s and '80s. Overall, though, this coming-of-age tale is no more interesting than yours or anyone else's.… Expand

Incredibly boring and meaningless. If you can stay awake through the whole movie you'll hate yourself for it by the end. None of the unrealistic characters provide any reason to like them, cheer for them, or care about them.

Unfortunately, all I felt was frustration throughout the entire viewing. But then, I watch movies to be entertained, rather than feel deep emotional turmoil, or receive a profound social message or statement. The Netflix rating is more appropriate.… Expand
