Think prison breaks, outrunning bad guys through a jungle, and a particularly lethal dance move.

But at its core, its a tender relationship study of the often complicated bonds between mothers and daughters.

Its what I gravitate towards real character stuff in the midst of funny.

Untitled Mother Daughter Project

I loved it, Hawn says.

I saw Amys range and her brilliance.

Shes a funny, smart person who can also make you cry.

I didnt care about doing something that doesnt stimulate me.

To be matched with someone so deeply instinctive, naturally funny, and incredibly brilliant?

Its a great coup.

For us, the audience, too.
