A Day Late and a Dollar Short

This is a good movie to watch, it has so many mixed feelings. Made me laugh and cry, a rollercoaster of emotions. They did very well with choosing the characters to portray the crazy broken family. The main character uses her knowledge as a mother to try and reconnect her family. It also shows hard topics that are hard to discuss especially when it is in the family. It shows how secrets can impact you as a person and how the choices they make matter. Everyone has issues but it should never stop anyone from asking for help. It really shows each and everyone's issues and most of them are trying to keep it to themselves.

It was well made fun. Tearful at the end. Too bad this family didn't come together when the protagonist was alive, this the title. Yes, I recommend for everyone. A good family film.

This is a good movie; I didn't feel like I wasted two hours of my time like with SO many other movies! Nice to see Whoopi in an understated performance. All the acting was good - but - even in a drama, Tichina Arnold makes me laugh! Too many years of watching "Martin" I guess... The hand-written letters that Whoopi's character left at the end was special...a great idea in this digital age. Okay, in the church scene where she sees her estranged husband and his girlfriend, who noticed Whoopi's homage to Guinan with her hat? Overall, this is a movie that most should enjoy; yes it feels a bit rushed, but if each character was fully developed, the movie would be four hours long.
