Review:
Four-square biopic in which the star also plays her own mother; indeed it is testament to the actress's extraordinary longevity that she is able to play her younger self at the age of 46. Needless to say, she is un-stretched by the experience but it is a sweet movie that also covers the special friendship with Cary Grant and her struggle to have children.
