Eating Disorders Awareness Week Film Change
The film being shown on Thurs., Feb. 26 at 7:30pm in Common Grounds has been changed from “Real Women Have Curves” to “Lovely and Amazing”. Self-esteem and insecurity are at the heart of this comedy about the relationship between a mother and her three confused daughters. Jane is the affluent matriarch who is undergoing cosmetic surgery to alter her figure, but serious complications put her health in real danger. Former homecoming queen Michelle, the eldest daughter, has one daughter of her own and an alienated, unsupportive husband. Elizabeth, the middle sister, has an acting career that is beginning to take off, but is timid and insecure, and habitually relieves her trepidation by taking in stray dogs. Only the youngest sister, Annie, an adopted African American 8-year-old, stands a chance of avoiding the family legacy of anxious self-absorption. If only her intelligence and curiosity will see her through what promises to be a confusing adolescence. Each of the women seeks redemption in her own haphazard way.
A list of all EDAW events is available online.
