Jersey Soundtrack (2020)
Synopsis
Best friends Maria and Lorelei have escaped cross-country to sunny L.A., leaving all the crazy family drama behind in New Jersey, but the drama catches up with them when Maria's crass mother Tess and spoiled older brother nick visit to celebrate Easter on the West Coast. Maria finds biting her tongue at Tess' ignorance difficult, while Lorelei tries to play buffer between mother and daughter. After a dinner full of Baby-Boomer judgment and millennial clapbacks, Tess accidentally mistakes the girls' chocolate edibles for an Easter dessert, turning what should be a chill California holiday into a Jersey shitstorm, but once it settles, Maria and Tess are able to confront the obvious tension that exists between them. The brutal, absurd honesty about their feelings toward each other proves the age-old theory that women around the world can relate to: there's family you love, family you hate....and then there's your mother.
