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)

  37. @RebeccaMcDonald-r1y on May 25, 2025 at 10:30 pm

    Orig with the excrllent performance of geraldine paige. Looking forward to this revised movie

  38. @eiguajardo on May 25, 2025 at 10:30 pm

    they remind me of my brother and his wife, she disrespects my parents and their house horribly while he remains silent, but she calls them mommy and daddy bc she is after the inheritance, we are three siblings and she is the one waiting for my parents to die, still, my mother chooses them over me, the one who takes care of them.
    My dad feels the same way about his childhood home, despite he suffered a lot, but I take him there every now and then and Im the one telling him stories bc he has Alzheimer.
    This makes me so sad, I would have let her be all day there telling stories with some snacks.

  39. @VirginiaGallegos-q8c on May 25, 2025 at 10:31 pm

    Thank you 999 I believe in my divide

  40. @iyanasomers139 on May 25, 2025 at 10:33 pm

    His wife was terrible why would he have his old mother cooking and cleaning and jumping to his wife beck and call plus being disrespectful on top of it all. I think he was a weak son his mom desrved better
