“Jeannie Berlin’s title role performance is outstanding, and Roy Scheider’s excellent performance as her reluctant lover is a major career milestone.”
—Variety 

“A surprisingly warm and funny tale.”
—The Chicago Tribune

Some are Plain Janes, some Mousy Marys — but they call this one Sheila Levine. Jeannie Berlin (THE HEARTBREAK KID) delivers a heartbreaking performance as a woman both too much and not enough for the big city. Adapted from Gail Parent’s bestselling novel, with a screenplay by Parent and Kenny Solms.
