Carrie Watts (Cicely Tyson,) begrudgingly lives with her busy, overprotective son, Ludie and pretentious daughter-in-law, Jessie Mae. No longer able to drive and forbidden to travel alone, she wishes for freedom from the confines of the house and begs her son to take her on a visit to her hometown of Bountiful. When he refuses, Mrs. Watts is undeterred and makes an escape to the local bus station, where she befriends Thelma (Keke Palmer,) a young woman traveling home. When Ludie and Jessie Mae discover she is gone, they call in law enforcement to help, but Mrs. Watts is one step ahead of them and convinces the local sheriff to help her on her journey home to Bountiful. Vanessa Williams and Blair Underwood also star in this television adaptation of American playwright and screenwriter Horton Foote’s Tony nominated play. (2014)

Why is the daughter-in-law so intend on cashing the cheque that's not her ? She treats her mother-in-law so badly and the son said r do nothing about it. I would love to see people treat each other with respect and empathy movie or not….
One and only Cicely. Rip legend. Gone but never ever forgotten.

I know sometimes most mother in law are very bitter,but this mother in law didn't deserve the bad treatment from her only child wife,I guess the wife only needed to inherited whatever her husband have .
terrible ending, grrrrrrrr
This was such a sweet movie. Excellent acting with Cicely (May she RIP)and Keke. Sometimes you just need a feel-good movie to shed a happy tear or put a smile on your face. Especially when I’m on my cycle, (ladies you know) it can be the best time and helps you get through it.😊
This movie is beautiful 😍
Peace Love 💗 quiet and happiness
Look how country life different to a slave life in the city
Ke ke is on her way all the way up if she got the opportunity to act with THE Cicely Tyson. What an honor for her. The acting mantle was passed.
Never forget….small beginnings!
If my brother wife would yell my mom like that, she wouldn't have teeth that same night!
I love this move it teaches me humility and the choice of true peace of mind.
