The dual-track plot, with constant cutting between mother and daughter, seems less an attempt to establish meaningful parallels between the two stories than the nervous twitches of a compulsive channel changer.

This is a wonderful film. There isn't a thing that I would change.

There's not enough substance to support the sentiment of this longish comedy-drama.
