Mommie Dearest Cute Movie Review
by Teresita Blanco

This movie was based on a book written by Christine Crawford. She was the adopted daughter of the infamous actress Joan Crawford. The book was one of the first Tell All books about a celebrity. Christine had written the book out of spite. Her mother had not given her any of the inheritance money.

People speculated that Joan had found out about the book before croaking. Anyhow, the movie starts with Joan whining about babies. She wanted a baby badly. However, she was unable to have kids. She had tried to adopt, but the adoption agency had denied her a kid. Thanks to her lawyer-lover she was able to get Christine.



The movie tries to follow the mood of the book. It did emphasis on the scenes when Joan was acting like a complete nutcase. My favorite part was when she threw a fit because Christine had hanged her clothing on an iron wire. She also made the girl clean up the bathroom at 3 AM at night.

My mother used to like the actress Joan Crawford, until she saw this movie. Knowing the personal life of an actress certainly can change a fan’s perspective. She was a brilliant, narcissistic actress and that is just about it.
