Also titled A Little
Something for Your Birthday. This
film features the different birthdays and new beginnings for Senna Berges. Each new section of the film starts
with Senna’s birthday. Her mother
Celia wants to be the first person to congratulate Senna on her birthday every
year. Senna is a struggling but aspiring
fashion designer. She doesn’t have the cash to put together a fashion line and
open a store? She’s also desperate
to find her soul mate. She claims
she doesn’t want to ever get married but that could possibly change if she met the right
person? Right now her life is
filled with irresponsible behavior, lost jobs and random hookups with younger men.
This is a lightweight
comedy and Stone is up to the challenge but the dialogue is clunky and so is
some of the comedy. Sometimes the
older hippy theme is stretched thin.
Maybe this is a filmed reality show instead?? It becomes wearying in the last third!! Ellen Burstyn is beautiful in this film as Senna's mother Celia
and she will be 82 in December.
Her hair is a lovely white color with the perfect haircut for her features. 3* (This movie is OK)
