You must see ‘A Miracle Worker”. This film is about a maid who comes to look after a stubborn blind girl of a rich couple.
The Sound of Music is the best movie even though the main character is not a mother. Must see movie i should say.
I love stepmom. I watched with my stepmom and hell yes we had a good friendly debate after the movie
oh, any list of movies for mothers should include the wonderful PBS documentary “The Story of Mothers and Daughters.”
My list is:-
1. Mother:- A funny film you can relate to. It stars Debbie Reynolds.
2. You Can Count on Me:- A single mother brings up her 8-year old son while taking care of her wayward brother.
3. Heartbreakers:- A very twiting romantic comedy about a mother-daughter con team looking for a quick buck and trying to avoid romance.
