It seems that Maggie Feller gets through her life because of her remarkable looks. One day, Maggie will need a helping, so she constantly goes to her lawyer sister, Rose for getting money. In this moment, Maggie discovers hidden letters that reveal she and Rose have a grandmother in another place. In a short time, Maggie finds an address which related to the past and future.
I think one reason this movie is so appealing is that it's the anti-Sex and the City-its earnestness and relative lack of rank bawdiness or cynicism seem novel in the present pop-culture atmosphere.

When it comes to offensive depictions of disability, even with its abundance in movies, the silence can be really deafening, no pun intended.
It's a rare film that requires a trash-talking best friend and a lively, smart-mouthed, comically blunt little old lady to liven things up. It's an even rarer film that can't be helped by either one.

Cluttered and predictable; but laced with laughs and enough of an emotional payoff to make it all worthwhile.
Very well written. All the supporting performances are good.
