When irascible matriarch Viola Price learns that her next asthma attack will likely kill her, she is determined to fix her fractured family before she leaves this world, from her relationship with her husband to the lives of her four children and grandchildren. While on this quest, she must contend with sibling rivalry, teen pregnancy and drug addiction - and that is only one child. Additionally, her jailbird son needs to learn how to be a better father, her granddaughter is in bigger trouble than her daughter is willing to admit and Viola's estranged husband needs saving from his scheming younger girlfriend. It's the kind of meddling that the Price family hasn't experienced from Viola in decades, and she won't have an easy time bending her loved ones to her will.

| User ReviewJon CThere's a lot of drama to go around for this family But Whoopi Goldberg is the glue that holds her kids together So many secrets start popping out that these people start seeing faults of their own they didn't know they had Viola next to her health declining deals with her husband divorcing her and getting her kids to look past each other With so many loose ends to tie up Viola just wants happiness where it counts Goldberg, Ving Rhames, and even Mekhi Phifer are excellent playing troubled individuals Every family squabbles but it's always a parents job to keep it from falling apart |
