WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW

    She packed your lunch. Tolerated your music. And quietly looked forward to the day you'd be happily on your own. If anyone qualifies as unforgettable, it's Mom. And if there's a comedy that qualifies as hilarious, it's Mother.
    Albert Brooks is star, co-writer and director of this comic valentine about a twice-divorced author who decided the only way to fix his relationship problems is to move back to his childhood home and solve the problems he had with the first woman in his life - Mom (Debbie Reynolds, winning raves for her first starring role in 27 years). For laughs as only Albert Brooks can deliver, come home to Mother. Also starring Rob Morrow and featuring Lisa Kudrow.

TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• Albert Brooks was able to get permission to rework the classic song "Mrs. Robinson" by asking co-star Debbie Reynolds to ask her daughter Carrie Fisher to call in a favor owed to her from her ex-husband, Paul Simon. She asked to allow use of the song as a thank you for her not asking for any alimony after they divorced in 1984, and Simon agreed.
• Before deciding on Debbie Reynolds for the part of Beatrice he had asked Nancy Reagan, who used to be an actress long before she was the First Lady. She had to decline the role as she was caring for her husband who suffering a losing battle with Alzheimer's. He then turned to Doris Day, as he was looking for an old leading lady to come out of retirement to play the part, however she turned the part down. He then turned to long time friend Carrie Fisher and asked her if her mother Debbie Reyonlds would be interested in the part, and as a result, she got the part.
