Next month The Lifetime Network will premiere it’s adaptation of Terry McMillan’s novel A Day Late and a Dollar Short.
Whoopi Goldberg and Ving Rhames will lead an all-star cast that includes Mekhi Phifer, Kimberly Elise, Anika Noni Rose and Tichina Arnold.
Based on the New York Times bestseller, the film follows a mother who tries to help her dysfunctional family through life’s ups and downs.
When irascible matriarch Viola Price (Goldberg) learns that her next asthma attack will likely kill her, she is determined to fix her fractured family before she leaves this world, from her relationship with her husband to the lives of her four children and grandchildren.
Goldberg is also a producer on the pic, which Lifetime will premiere on Saturday, April 19 at 7 p.m.
