[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's been a minute since I read this, but I don't remember the mom being a hippie type.  It is kind of strange to see Rachel McAdams in the mom role.  In my mind she is younger than me and not the "mom."[/quote]

From what I have read, Judy Blume was heavily involved in the production of the movie and she expanded on the character of Margaret's mom.  In the book, it's mentioned that Margaret's mom is a painter, but in the movie her character is an art teacher in NYC who quits her job to become a stay-at-home mom when the family moves to NJ.  She struggles with fitting in with the suburban uber-moms, overextending herself with the PTA stuff, trying to learn to cook and decorate the house, but she still tries to hang on to her art and her creativity.  She has long, wavy hair and peasant tops, in contrast with the beehives and high heels of the other moms.  So in a way the movie is not just about the changes Margaret oes through, but the changes her mom goes through.[/quote]
