Made-Up
The star is Brooke Adams, the director is her actor-husband Tony Shalhoub (who also appears on screen), and the scriptwriter is her sister Lynne Adams (who also appears, also). Sort of a Henry Jaglom-y home movie, or home video rather, and sort of a Christopher Guest-y mockumentary, in which a team of student filmmakers film themselves making a documentary on issues of beauty and aging, mothers and daughters, older men and younger women, divorce and dating. In short, sort of formless and messy. It has some humor; and Brooke Adams, exposing the ravages of time on her own person to close scrutiny, has some nerve; and Eva Amurri, real-life daughter of Susan Sarandon, represents Insouciant Youth with charm and modesty and a modicum of gloating. 2004.
