I had hoped, as the description indicates, this would be a moving family film with an inspiring message central to a family road trip (e.g. exploring the mother-daughter dynamic)...and it did!

Though it fell light on content, I did "feel" something--anger, humor, relief.

What pleased me most was that a captivating film was made devoid of sexual encounters, obscene language and offensive gimmicks to lure viewers. An enjoyable movie can be made without those features! Bravo!

This is a soft, gentle film. The main reason I watched it was to see Pamela Reed and Shawnee Smith, two talented and fine actresses. They mesh well together in this family centered story about a recently widowed senior citizen (Pamela Reed) moving on the the next phase of her life; widowhood and advanced age. Accompanying her on the road trip to her "independant living facility, is her daughter-in-law (Shawnee Smith). Antics ensue. It might be a bit slow and gentle for some, but I enjoyed the multi-generational family dynamic. Plus I'm partial to road trip movies. The writing could have been better; given the actors something to work with.

Such a fun movie that reminds us of what's really important in life.

I really enjoyed this film. It has all the elements of wholesomeness that I look for in a film. A good story, funny moments, and wonderful relationship coaching.

I was especially impressed by the character development and the depth of the performances. Not only was the film entertaining, but it left me with thoughtful takeaways to ponder. Definitely a must-watch for anyone seeking a heartwarming and insightful cinematic experience.

Additionally, the film's attention to detail in both setting and dialogue made it feel authentic and relatable. From start to finish, this film is a testament to the art of storytelling and a shining example of cinematic excellence. Highly recommended for those who cherish films that touch the heart and stimulate the mind.

I thought this was a great great film and the two primary female actors were positively incredible. They aced it. Perfect everything, perfect facial expressions and body language, it was a perfect connection between the two of them. Perfect, perfect. The husband was awesome, too. I truly appreciated everything about the film. Kudos to everyone involved. I know there is a crew behind the scenes who help make the magic happen. Thank you to all.
