One of Georgia's first priorities is to repair her relationship with Polly, her estranged teenage daughter. Fortunately, Polly, despite their stormy past, is equally willing to patch things up. Georgia also wants to renew her once-thriving career as a Broadway actress, and her romance with accomplished playwright David. Georgia will find a rough road ahead of her, and only she knows if she's got what it takes to rebuild her life, without succumbing to her weakness for alcohol. [More]

Reviews for Only When I Laugh
Only When I Laugh is a film about family ties, friendship and coping in a competitive world.
Neil Simon reworked his play Gingerbread Lady for this tale of alcoholic actress (real wife Marsha Mason) and precocious daughter, but the result is just as stagy, schmaltzy and predictable, with the expected witty but utterly theatrical one-liners.
