Julie Kavner of the "Rhoda" television show is just wonderful here. She is basically a Jewish Phyllis Diller who gains fame at the same time she neglects her daughters.
This film is really a tribute to the women who became stand up comics years before.
As we see in so many films, success has its disadvantages as well, as both young girls leave in a frenzy to seek out the father who abandoned them years before. After seeing him, they realize that a mother is still a mother.
Carly Simon sings the background music throughout the film and she is an absolute treat to hear.
