It is about a mother-daughter relationship, one an alcoholic and another a drug addict fresh out of a detox centre. Their relationship is complicated by the mother mothering her grown up daughter while unconsciously showing herself off as someone who was a better performer than her daughter,while trying to help her in her acting career. Meryl Streep plays the addled addict trying to make sense of ego masquerading as love on the one hand men take advantage of her even as she is bungling her way through her Hollywood career. Shirley McLean playing the mother, both had put in memorable performances. Both in a sense are cracking while desperately trying or save themselves from the crackup. The comedy is good and the knife-edged throw away lines coupled with some lyrics leave a deep impression.
