No one uses guilt the way Italians and Greeks do.
Maria and Nick know that only too well. The two teachers swap stories about their respective mothers and aunts, who have employed tears and sorrow the way a surgeon uses a scalpel. They gift their tormentors a trip to California, but ironically the ladies wind up on the same flight, where they become instant friends, and the world suddenly gets turned upside down.
If you have kids, if you were a kid---whatever your ethnic background---you will laugh, sigh, and shake your head as you share this adventure with Maria and Nick and their Mediterranean Mothers!!
