Single mother Adele August is bad with money, and even worse when it comes to making decisions. Her straight-laced daughter, Ann, is a successful high school student with Ivy League aspirations. When Adele decides to pack up and move the two of them from the Midwest to Beverly Hills, Calif., to pursue her dreams of Hollywood success, Ann grows frustrated with her mother's irresponsible and impulsive ways.
Editor's Verdict
"The only detected Christmas element is a 'Holiday Release,' which is a distribution detail, not a narrative one. The plot centers entirely on a mother-daughter move from the Midwest to Beverly Hills and associated family drama, with no evidence of the Christmas season impacting the setting, plot, themes, or iconography."
