| | Movie Haiku: | Probably sensing that this was her one shot as a lead, Julie Kavner (“Brenda Morgenstern,” “Marge Simpson”) hits a homerun in this dramedy about a divorced mother of two who wants to be a stand-up comedienne. Samantha Mathis also shines as Dot's teenage daughter. Nora Ephron, in her directorial debut, makes important points with wit and warmth. Jewish content implicit but unmistakable. |
