chick flick . of course . be do before . many time . predictable . yes . worth watch . you bet . i be delight with sarandon and portman portrayal of otherwise stock character in a familiar story line . i be a great fan of mother or daughter story . what make the difference between the good one and the weak one be the performance and the character development . although this be not the best of it genre and i will buy it and watch it again . i felt the character be believable and the acting be superior .
