Movie Haiku:Vivi (Burstyn) & her eldest daughter Sidda (Bullock) are at war, so her three bosom buddies (Fionnula Flanagan, Shirley Knight, & Maggie Smith) concoct an “intervention.” The plum in this bowl of cherries is Judd, luminous & heart-breaking by turns as Vivi in her prime. Without her, it’s funny fluff.
