      It's not easy to be a mother

      A fashionista has to take on the responsibilities of a mother, and his lifestyle will inevitably be completely changed. It is still difficult to accept. The impact of children on life is really subversive, let alone three different ages, different personalities, and experiences The parents died unexpectedly of the child. Helen finally adapted to such a change, and could not lose them, coupled with perfect love, led her life into another stage.
      Kate Hudson is so beautiful, the 2004 movie...

    Popular style, big aunt and love vane-the plot unfolds

    The blame is that God likes to work his muscles and hungry his skin. It is better to say that the screenwriter here borrowed My God's tongue to expand the plot. The bad news came that Helen's sister-in-law died in a sudden car accident! The loss of family affection brought Helen's pain from the spirit to the body. This incident brought about an additional incident: the sister left three lovely children, they are 15-year-old Audrey,...

    Youthful Feelings of Old People

    Lack of blood relationship between age and love. Elderly people talk about love and love, although there is no such thing as a flattering poem of "a pear blossom pressing a begonia" that a classic poet of the classic class once published on his teacher's death to marry an 18-year-old girl. The nostalgic emotions of passion and fanaticism in the past are only more gentle and rational. Throwing away the unreasonable adulteration of age,...

    Hollywood starring

    A bit too much, but in the end, this is a heavy movie, and Kate Hudson is a weight that can overwhelm the audience. Coppola's power made Nicholas Cage enter the hall of film and television, and the later days of the day depended on Nicholas Cage's personal hard work, and Kate Hudson's fame was also the same. Mother Gedi Han’s guidance, personal efforts, and the 2000 Golden Globes won the bag, "Kate Hudson has only a background and no...

    Player Comment

    In the previous Japanese drama "Long Holidays", the heroine Tomoko Yamaguchi expressed deep concern about his younger brother Takenouchi Yutaka Takenouchi , because the romantic younger brother is very likely to secretly "bring up" an illegitimate child to be raised by himself. The couple are not yet married. The girl is no less than a bolt from the blue. Fortunately, the plot that Tomoko worried about did not happen, and at the same...

    Movie quotes

    • [Helen starts to read Jenny's letter from Lindsay]

      Helen Harris: Dear Jenny, If you're reading this, you know that I'm gone. And I asked Helen to be the guardian for the kids.

      Lindsay Davis: [voiceover] And you're probably freaked about it. Yes, it's a surprising choice, considering that you are the most incredible mother I've ever known. If you find this letter odd, understand that my "always be prepared" Paul convinced me to write it now while our children are young. You must know from experience that when it comes to picking somebody else to raise your kids, no one seems right. No one is you. And so you choose someone who is most like you. Someone that will give the kids a taste of their real mom, the mom they lost and never really got to know. In so many ways, we are so much alike, that's why I chose Helen. Of course, she'll have lots of fights with the kids, yet she'll find a way to make up. I know sometimes she messes things up and makes big mistakes. On the other hand, she also makes big comebacks. Respect her Jenny. Give her a shot. We're family and I'm counting on you to keep everyone together. I know, Helen will certainly need some help learning how to be a mother to my kids, but I've got you for that. And who could be better? After all, you raised Helen, you'll teach her how to be a mom. Just like you taught her how to tie her shoes. I can still hear you telling her, "The bunny goes around the tree, and into the burrow...

      Helen Harris: [watches Sarah tie her shoe] Pull tight.

    • Henry Davis: How'd he get past the visual security system?

    • Helen Harris: Audrey, sweetie, can you do me a favor and get me your wallet?

      Audrey Davis: Why?

      Helen Harris: Could you just do it, please?

      [Audrey grabs her wallet]

      Helen Harris: Open it up and give me your fake ID.

      Audrey Davis: Why?

      Helen Harris: Because I said so, that's why.

      Audrey Davis: I'm not gonna give it to you. I'm not a child.

      Helen Harris: Yes, you are. You are a child, Audrey. And you have a right to a childhood and you should fight for it. But if you wont, then I will. Now give me your ID.

      [Audrey takes fake I.D. out of her wallet and throws it at Helen]

      Helen Harris: That was very adult of you.

      Audrey Davis: [shouts] You tricked me. I thought you were on my side, but you're just like her.

      [points at Jenny]

      Audrey Davis: [shouts] I hate you. Do you hear me? I hate you.

      Helen Harris: Well, I'm just gonna have to live with that.
