Today is Mother's Day. Have you called your mother? Good. Now take
a humongous bong hit and head to Cinerama, where this morning brings
Mommie Dearest, the 1981 biopic that made Joan Crawford a child-abuse icon,
ruined Faye Dunaway's career, and thrived in infamy. Make no mistake:
Mommie Dearest sucks. But Ms. Dunaway's fearless exertions elevate overacting to the status of an Olympic event. Plus:
free pre-screening doughnuts! (
