An unusual road trip movie about a mother driving her two sons from New York to Pittsburgh to St. Louis and eventually Hollywood in her quest to find a man to take care of them all. Based loosely on the autobiographical experiences of George Hamilton, it's more 'The Kid Stays in the Picture' than 'Citizen Kane': a hazy, and you suspect fantastical, story of a singular childhood. Oedipal, sun-drenched whimsy. Surprisingly watchable stuff though.
