New York playwright Sidda Lee Walker is a long way from her Louisiana hometown, but an even greater emotional distance separates her

from her mother Vivi. The Ya-Yas — sworn lifelong friends of Vivi — stage an unorthodox "intervention" to bring daughter and mother

together in this warm, winning adaptation of Rebecca Well's bestsellers, written for the screen and directed by Thelma & Louise

Academy Award winner Callie Khouri.
