Lionsgate and Pantelion Films have released the first trailer and poster for the upcoming comedy drama film Girl in Progress.
The trailer shows Eva Menes’ character Grace’s efforts to make it in life while still staying true to herself and raising a teenage daughter who has more questions than she has answers.
Cierra Ramirez
Here’s the official synopsis:
Grace (Eva Mendes) is a single mom. She is too busy juggling work, bills, and the very married Dr. Harford (Matthew Modine), to give her daughter, Ansiedad (Cierra Ramirez) the attention she desperately needs. When Ansiedad’s English teacher, Ms. Armstrong (Patricia Arquette), introduces her students to classic coming-of-age stories, Ansiedad is inspired to skip adolescence and jump-start her life without mom. While Grace becomes preoccupied with the increasing affections of her co-worker (Eugenio Derbez), Ansiedad enlists the help of her loyal friend, Tavita (Raini Rodriguez), to plot her shortcut to “adulthood”. But as her misguided plan unravels, Ansiedad and Grace must learn that sometimes growing-up means acting your age.
Girl in Progress, directed by Patricia Riggen (Under the Same Moon, Disney TV’s “Lemonade Mouth”) premieres April 27th, 2012.
