Title: Total Disappointment...
Review: It started out as a typical ARS plot--aging southern marriedwoman contemplates family life and ends up growing and learning.But the overly sentimental characters were sickening afterawhile, and the plot became less believable as it progressed.Tedious storyline--main character rhapsodizes about meetingher wonderful husband, but typically falls for an ugly ordeformed man who's somehow beautiful inside, as the plotprogresses.Why should we care about a hairy woodsman with a pet rat whohas a deathwish concerning California earthquakes? Like wecouldn't see his death coming. And could the main charactergush anymore about her love for her perfect beautiful daughter?A potential Hollywood movie star at 14? Come on.Cliches, cliches--the sweet gay man dying of AIDS, the self-involved physician husband, the beloved, long-lost sister,the sleazy Hollywood producers...can't Siddens do any betterthan this?I don't think I'll read her anymore, and its too bad...I lovedDowntown and Nora, Nora.
