Crazy Mama

“In 1957 Cheryl Drove Her Mom's Chevy on a Heavy Date: Got Knocked Up, Knocked Over a Bank, Smashed Four Police Cars, and Kidnapped Her Stepfather. It Was a Crazy Year!”

When the bank repossesses her California beauty parlor, Melba (Cloris Leachman) loads her mother Sheba (Ann Sothern) and her daughter Cheryl into a car and heads for Arkansas, where she means to get the family farm back. Money is short, so the three generations of women start robbing their way east. Jonathan Demme keeps the whole trip at a rattling pace, with the grain and dust of a 70s B picture.
