Cc R Oct 23 This might be the dumbest movie I've ever seen. Completely unbelievable premise. They do not turn off your heat in the winter in the state of illinois. If your husband gets killed working on a utility line you get compensated. She could have sued for a million dollars if she had a good lawyer. And a meth dealer does not insist that you sample the product. Her son's asthma would have been covered by medicare. When her diner closed down she would have gotten unemployment. The writing is abysmal and casting Diane Keaton in this part made no sense.

See more Pamela H @Pamiejo 09/03/2024 2 hours of Diane Keaton shrieking. See more Lori H 02/29/2024 With an interesting and gritty storyline, it's difficult to watch. The biggest hurdle in this movie is casting Diane Keaton, with her too put-together adorable wardrobe and her perfectly highlighted and trimmed hair, perfect makeup, you just absolutely don't buy her as a starving poor mother turning to drugs. The casting is really awful here, I kept hoping for someone more like Kelly Reilly (who is versatile enough to portray a drug addict as she did in Flight and a rich socialite as in Pride and Prejudice.) There are also some conversation exchanges that missed the mark, like her son quitting basketball because she missed too many games, the way she's abusive and hard on her kids would be harder to watch if it felt more real. And showing a dead child was completely unnecessary and cinematically poorly handled. I just don't buy these characters at all and the way it unraveled was unsatisfying. It never grabbed me. See more 04/14/2012 One of the worst movies of all time! See more 07/16/2011 It was difficult to watch the heroine go through the descent into addiction, neglect of her kids, and the process of kicking the crystal meth habit. Yet I couldn't tear my eyes away. Diane Keaton is still Diane Keaton, but she does a credible job of portraying someone whose life gets totally and dangerously out of control.
