Review
Fortune hadn't been particularly kind to Mattie Gifford. Her mother committed suicide, her husband slept around town, her best friend slept with her husband, and she can't stand her three daughters. But she does love her son, Sonny, who, nevertheless, plunges her into deep despair when he takes two women and a poodle hostage in a trailer park. Sonny claims to have seen John Lennon's face in an apparition and gets his own mug on the television news. All this is almost too much for Mattie, who stands at the center of this humorous but also poignant tale of disappointment and love.
