The film is a series of interwoven stories of what it is to be a mom seen through the lens of photographer Rigby Gray. It celebrates the unparalleled love between mothers and their children and the myriad ways they connect in today's modern world.
Somehow channeling the tone of both a Lifetime movie and an after-school special, "Mothers and Daughters" shambles into theaters oozing schlock and melodrama, just in time for Mother's Day.
There's no chance of genuine emotional investment in these characters amid the aggressively heavy-handed contrivances, trite platitudes and eye-rolling conflict resolutions.
Because so few movies focus on stories about women, it's incredibly frustrating to see this strong cast drifting away on a tide of soap bubbles - there's no movie here, just scene after scene of melodramatic cliché.
"Mothers and Daughters" is full of recognizable stars and heartfelt conversations. Unfortunately, it's largely devoid of the kind of character development that can give such conversations real impact.
