A circle of life kind of movie that I think you needed to be a mother to really connect. One woman (Benning) gives up her child when she is 14 and when her mother dies and she meets a new man, she is convinced to look for her daughter. Meanwhile, we also meet the daughter (Watts), who started taking care of herself when she was 17 and who gets pregnant from an affair with an older widower from her law firm. While giving birth, which she never wanted to do, she dies. Also, within all this a woman is trying to adopt a child - she - you guessed it - ends up with the grandchild of the original woman (Benning). Grandmother & grandchild live in the same neighbor - less than a block from each other - destiny - blah! All in all, I say: SKIP IT unless you're a mom and then I say: RENT IT.
