I really like her and it is known that shes one of the best actresses, what do you think about her performance in this movie? I think it was just so so, is just a drama-comedy but her performance was not brilliant as always, maybe because she was kind of support actress?
shareShe deserved a nod...then again, they pushed her as a lead. She was so terrific in this. Very good film.
shareMeryl always delights and surprises me with acting versatility. :)
shareShould have won the Razzi. She was awful and overall I really like her work. She called it in.
shareShe did a good job by not yielding to the temptation to shtick it up.
shareOP makes no sense here. Meryl is incredible in this.
share.
She was absolutely dreadful in this. Plus miscast. Plus she can't do comedy.

COMPLETELY AGREE!
I am a first generation American citizen. My parents came here from South America (mom), and Puerto Rico (dad).
They had very little education, but a ton of self-worth and strangth and dedication. They worked for every bit they got.
They never graduated high school... GEDs and working at factories...
Why I bring this up here:
I always hated Meryl. You can say I was like Jerry Seinfeld... "...she's a great big pnony!"
I once saw Kramer Vs Kramer and since then, hated Meryl's guts!!!
Never did I realize her talent and ability is what made me hate her... she played her character so well... but I digress.
I see this film reluctantly on the recommendation of a friend... date-movie sort of thing...
And I immediately withdraw... Streep... but then I thought, here's Uma... and New York City as a back-drop... "I'm in!"
And then the film ends, and I adore Meryl. Why?! Becuase f her immense talent and respect for her craft!
She plays (in this) a highly educated and mature and professional psychiatrist. She also plays an irrational and ethnic MOTHER... she reimnded me so much of the way my mother behaved during similar circumstances. When I went through those experiences with my motehr, I always chalked it up to her inability to comprehend "new world" concepts, or ideas.
Meryl plays a crazy mother who loves her kid too! And although she has all this education and preparation, she reverts to protective, ethnic mom when it conserns her child...
I thought it showed great depth. And I love Meryl now...
Just wanted to share.
