Eva Mendes is a Single Mother. Watch the Trailer for Girl in Progress
Right off the bat, what we have to remember about Girl in Progress is that Eva Mendes, who plays the mother of a teenager, is shagging Baby Goose. Okay, you’ve got that picture in your head, now think about the fact that she’s graduated to being “the mother”. *shudder* Yeah it makes me feel old too.
The synopsis:
Grace (Eva Mendes) is a single mom. She is too busy juggling work, bills, and the very married Dr. Hartford (Matthew Modine), to give her daughter, Ansiedad (Cierra Ramirez) the attention she desperately needs. When Ansiedad's English teacher, Ms. Armstrong (Patricia Arquette), introduces her students to classic coming-of-age stories, Ansiedad is inspired to skip adolescence and jump-start her life without mom. While Grace becomes preoccupied with the increasing affections of her co-worker (Eugenio Derbez), Ansiedad enlists the help of her loyal friend, Tavita (Raini Rodriguez), to plot her shortcut to "adulthood". But as her misguided plan unravels, Ansiedad and Grace must learn that sometimes growing-up means acting your age.
Now take a look at the trailer. Mendes’ Grace is anything but typical. We’ve all seen “coming of age” stories, as well as read them and we can guess the trouble the girl gets into in order to get her mother’s attention. Obviously, it’s not just her daughter that needs to grow up or will do some growing by the end of the movie. It’s always all about the journey. Mendes and Arquette are talented actresses and Ramirez looks promising, as does the movie. (I’ll admit to dancing in my chair to the song played under the trailer too.)
Directed by Patricia Riggen, Girl in Progress is marked for an April 27 release in the US.
