Intriguing premiseNeeds more depth

During her classic television series, Diane Barrow was America's sweetheart and everybody's favorite spunky mom.

That was twenty years ago.

Now her career is in a slump and her son suddenly remembers some nasty things from his childhood.

Or does he?

This is a surprising comedy about memory, mothers and our maddening culture of complaint by the author of The Twilight of the Golds
