Keith B. @Okbullard 2d I thought it was really well done. I've always liked Marisa Tomei and she knocked this character out of the park. Gena Rowlands and little Jake Lloyd were so good together. You think I'm a little piece of chicken?? Lol It's definitely worth the watch.

Gena Rowlands is terrific as usual. See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 04/01/2016 Unhook the Stars is a disappointing film. It is about Mildred, an elderly woman who has spent her life caring for others. Gena Rowlands and Marissa Tomei give terrible performances. The script is badly written. Nick Cassavetes did a horrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture.
