Mothers & Daughters

An uneven, depressing, off-the-wall 2002 comedy, which is based on Robin Mackenzie's play The Chocolate Fairy, in which a rollercoaster day goes from bad to worse to better for three Los Angeles women, including an artistic, vodka-imbibing housewife (Sheri Hellard) who hides from her clueless, chiropractor husband (Mark Neal), family, and friends that she may have breast cancer; her comely, wannabe-actress, bus hostess daughter (Heidi Marnhout) who copes with an abusive boyfriend (Daniel Eppard) while trying to audition for a television soap and evading a ticket from a smitten, kindhearted cop (Rich Shatz); and her widowed, wig-wearing, eccentric mother (Sally Kirkland) who copes with the sudden loss of her Viagra-popping lover (Tom Bosley) while trying to evade a ticket for multiple infractions from the same cop.
