Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsWhen Erica and Opal run off to live with their father in Albany, it is clear they're not in Albany. For one the train station they get off at is a grand large station. Although still standing and in use as a bank, Albany abandon its large Union Station in downtown Albany for train service in 1968. In 1992 trains were using a small station located in the town of Rensselaer, which is across the Hudson River from Albany. Additionally en-route to their father's house they pass many small semi- detached homes which is reminiscent of Toronto, were most of the film was shot, rather than Albany where houses are larger and mostly detached.

Featured review
I loved this movie when it first came out, and the 3 or 4 times that I have seen it since then. I really identified with the single mom with two kids trying to balance life and work. I was doing the same thing then! It reminded me that if you can find something funny about a difficult time in your life, you may be more able to get through it. Family is everything to Dottie and her kids, and the still unresolved issues at the end are fine, since life usually just continues and not every problem can be resolved at the same time. I recommend this movie to anyone who is trying to balance family and a career and a love life! It made me cry and laugh at the same time!
