...uncle Henry Ford II relinquished the post in 1979. Although not paralyzed, Ford Motor is in great need of an overhaul, and the question reverberating from Dearborn to Wall Street is whether that can be accomplished by the man whose family owns 40% of the voting shares. The knock is that Bill Ford has neither the experience nor the mettle to make the tough decisions--on everything from plant closings to new-car programs--required to pull Ford Motor out of the ditch.

The rest of the movie is about her trying to realize her ambitions (college, writing books, ensuring her son's love) while dealing with her husband's fecklessness, her boy's fractiousness, her own foot-in-mouth feistiness. It is somewhat repetitive, but it is also wonderfully acted, especially by Barrymore. Like the movie itself, she's neither self-pitying nor self-aggrandizing--just real...
