Short description

Single mother Adele August is bad with money, and even worse when it comes to making decisions. Her straight-laced daughter, Ann, is a successful high school student with Ivy League aspirations. When Adele decides to pack up and move the two of them from the Midwest to Beverly Hills, Calif., to pursue her dreams of Hollywood success, Ann grows frustrated with her mother's irresponsible and impulsive ways.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is based on the biographical book by a well-known American writer, Mona Simpson. Mona is Steve Jobs's biological sister, of whom he was unaware until the age of 27. The book, "Anywhere But Here," tells about Jobs's childhood and biological parents.
  • Before filming began, Susan Sarandon told the producers she would not appear in the film unless Natalie Portman played the role of her daughter.
