adam sandler movie be my favorite comedy . the silence of the lamb be my favorite horror movie . the matrix be my favorite sci fi movie . anywhere but here be my favorite drama . perhaps the single most valuable asset that this movie have be it act . susan sarandon be absolutely amazing . by the end of this movie i felt a if i know her character well than i know myself . she do a simply amazing job . natalie portman also do a great job . i recently rent her first movie and leon ( 1994 ) and in which she play a 12 year old girl . i believe that she be a contradiction in term while she be a good kid actress . well and 5 year later she be still just as good an actress . in fact and she much well . not only do sarandon and portman portray their character well and but they also work perfectly together . i mean and even now i can hardly believe that they be not actually mother and daughter in real life as well a in this movie . this movie be about a 14 year old girl ( portman ) and her restless mother ( sarandon ) that leave their home town in wisconsin for beverly hill . at first portman hat her mother for take her away from her cousin and friend and and the two begin a very tumultuous relationship that go up and down over the course of a couple year ( usually down and might i add ) . although this explanation be a little vague and the plot can only be summarize vaguely . but when you see this movie you will see that the plot really be not so vague or weak and for it be actually very deep . what i be say be that the plot be outline weakly and but then they focus in on it to make it strong . and it be very strong and but also the plot sequencing be great . and there be a few brilliant scene that i hope will someday be see a classic . i love this movie . i laugh . i cry . and although and admittedly and there be a few loophole and it still a stellar movie and it really come together in the end .
