- Quotes
Sidda: [about Vivi] I am sick of fighting! And, I am sick to death of this whole center of the universe, holier than thou, nothing is ever enough. Oh, how I've suffered, nobody understands me. Somebody fix me a drink and hand me a Nebutol, worn out Scarlett O'Hara... thang!
Caro: Well, she's got her pegged, all right.

I figured, `Okay. I'll see Ya Ya today. And then she'll see Sum of all Fears with me tomorrow. So off to the Divine Secrets we went. Exceeded my expectations, it did . . . ` (Bill as Yoda)
The movie could have as easily been titled `Love and lifetime friendship on Planet Earth'. It's about a relationship between a mother and her daughter on the surface. At its core, it's about lifelong friendship, the rights and responsibilities in good times and bad. . . kind'a like a marriage. The best line references how many dollars on therapy one could save with truthful friends. The truth hurts . . . In the end - it makes us stronger.
The film is chock full of subtleties. Like how Vivi shares her most intimate secrets with Conner, whom she never met before vs. shielding her daughter from the backdrop of her life over the years.
Huge spiritual side as well to the story. . . . You have to see it to understand this part.
A.P.B. to the Guys: If you're looking for a date, find a Ya Ya theater and have a field day. Chick city: All ages. 98% women! Go get'em.
We never did see Sum of All Fears. WCS
Carolyn's Review:
Left with a tear in my eye and a song in my heart, thank goodness I bought the sound track, which is as good as the movie. Didn't start to write this till I called my daughters and said "Ya-Ya". Hope they see it with a girl friend real soon.
Having read the book twice it was at first a little disappointing that the movie didn't start out or follow the book as closely as I had hoped... but, again, think it was a smart move that it didn't. It would have been too difficult for people to follow the story if they tried to replicate the book.
Everyone was well cast and I hope you have friends like that in your life...with you in the good, bad and even the ugly parts of all of our lives.
A sigh here and off I go for a glass on wine on the back porch. CFS
