Join Academy Award?-winners Meryl Streep and William Hurt, along with Renee Zellwegger, for an unforgettable look at the pleasure, pain and ultimate joy of being a family.
Synopsis: Ellen is a NYC writer on the fast track to becoming a successful journalist. When she gets the news that her mother, Kate, is dying of cancer, her world is tipped upside down. Her father puts the screws to her, convincing her to come home and take care of her mother on a full-time basis. While there, she discovers that her writer dad may not be the saint she'd always pegged him as.
