Nicole Holofcener's follow-up feature to her critically acclaimed debut Walking and Talking, Lovely & Amazing is an intimate family portrait of four hapless but resilient women and the bittersweet lessons they learn in dealing with the hectic demands of their individual deep seated neuroses. Jane Marks is the matriach of a confused trio of daughters; Michelle, a homecoming queen tunred underachiever, unmotivated in life and insensitive toward the rest of the world, Elizabeth, an insecure young actress on the fringes of Hollywood, and Jane's eight-year-old African American adoptive daughter, Annie, struggling with her own issues of identity and self image. When complications from cosmetic surgery threaten Jane's well being, the family of comically self-absorbed women must quickly find room in their lives to offer comfort and strength.
