practically moments before saint nancy revived diane keaton's career with something's gotta give, she starred in two tv movies she prudently terms "notable failures" in her self-indulgent memoir brother & sister. well, you can just imagine my squeals of delight as i was scrolling through lifetime movie club's new additions and saw a recognizable title.. could it be... is it..... the very same on thin ice from her book?!?! wow! i know this is Acting or whatever and every permanent a-lister rolls around in their many golden pools of liquid cash like a scrooge mcduck but there's definitely something extra ludicrous thinking about how out of every woman available to take the role of a poverty-stricken single mother who resorts to…

Holy shit - this movie is a joke. I feel like this movie must have been made at a low point in Diane Keatons’ career. Someone must have pumped her full of coffee and cocaine and said now go and play this character as annoying and insane as possible. I couldn’t tell if she was trying to play younger or if she thought this woman was real stupid and played her hyper and stupid as fuck. I don’t even care anymore.
I could barely get through it.

Diane Keaton selling meth?!
More like ‘The Family Stoned’.Diane Keaton selling meth?!
More like ‘Walter White Wine’. -
Utterly bizarre in every way. I’ll follow Diane Keaton to the ends of the earth but who the hell thought this was good casting?
It goes pretty hard for a Lifetime movie, I’ll give it that.

You had me at “Diane Keaton as a drug dealer.”
The meth head part was just icing on the cake.
She didn’t have to go this hard. She did this for us. She knew one day we’d relish this little throwaway.

Apparently the best that Lifetime had to offer at that time.
The message comes across pretty clear, however, this film made me realize Diane Keaton is not the best in movies based off true stories. -
Diane Keaton desperately rummaging through the squalor of her neglected suburban home licking a ziplock bag she finds under her disgusting couch cushions in hopes of finding meth residue is a performance you don’t want to miss

The one where Annie Hall gets hooked up on meth by decapitated mother from Final Destination 2 and ends up being harassed by Yondu. Annie is a widow with two sons who works two full-time jobs. The youngest has asthma, the day job falls through, the house has no heat, the car needs constant maintenance. I believe there’s a deleted scene where a mugger steals her purse on a payday.

I fell asleep watching Glengarry Glen Ross. I woke up and this was starting. Watched it... Really not worth it.
