My One and Only English Film Synopsis:
Watch movie Story : The tires of a baby-blue '53 Cadillac Coupe de Ville convertible squeal down the New York street, and none of its occupants looks back. The beautiful but mercurial Ann Devereaux (Renee Zellweger) has just left her philandering husband Dan Devereaux (Kevin Bacon), a society bandleader, and taken to the road with her teenage sons, George (Logan Lerman) and Robbie (Mark Rendall), in search of a wealthy replacement mate. Although it's 1953, Ann is certain that her girlish charms will serve her as well as they did two decades earlier.
But time has marched on since Ann's courting days, and it seems that the losers and playboys outnumber the eligible and willing bachelors. Ann never gives up hope, but a series of new schools for the boys, ever more humble lodgings and romantic misadventures start to take the gloss off their trip. Yet Ann is indefatigable, her pride matched by the flighty enthusiasm of her older son Robbie, a flamboyant boy who believes he is meant for a life on the stage, and the cynical wit of George, an observant aspiring writer. As the miles roll by, their journey veers from eccentric, to hair rising, to poignant, to comic.
My One and Only Hollywood Movie Review :
I can't help but to think about the Singapore-Australian joint production The Home Song Stories when watching this film. After all, both are based on biographies and stories about Mothers who depend on their looks in order to bring up their children in a dysfunctional family structure, having little skill to work and make ends meet. And both involved travelling far and wide, and the meeting of different men and potential stepfathers, which form the bulk of the stories as they flit from point to point in an episodic manner.

Renee Zellweger plays Anne Deveraux, a Southern Belle who has two sons from different marriages - Robbie (Mark Rendall) and George (Logan Lerman), the latter whom will become the actor George Hamilton, and this is his mother's story, though written by Charlie Peters. Given that she has issued an ultimatum to her husband Dan (Kevin Bacon) on his philandering ways, they part unceremoniously, and with her she took the two boys, and whatever cash she can amass for a very spiffy looking car for a cross country road trip to figure out how they are to survive on their own, sans Dan.
The story becomes an incredible road trip adventure of sorts, with each pit stop made from the East coast to the West's Hollywood being an episode on a wash-rinse-repeat cycle of how she would look up or chance upon an old flame or a potential father figure, and then try to entice them into a relationship in the hopes of getting married. I suppose in those days with gender inequality, a single mom will find life hard to go by without a husband, and her obligation as she had felt would be to provide that father figure to her sons. There's plenty of drama and comedy to go around, which makes one look forward to just how each current episode would play out.
