Mothers and Daughters
Short description

What's left behind the scenes
- Susan Sarandon and Eva Amurri play mother and daughter. In reality, Sarandon is Amurri's mother.
- Mira Sorvino and Christopher Backus, who plays her close acquaintance, are husband and wife.
- The film's title translates literally from English as "Mothers and Daughters." It was originally planned to be called Mother's Day, but Garry Marshall beat the filmmakers to it, and his comedy Mother's Day (released in Russia as "Unbearable Ladies") came out first.
