Unhook the Stars is a 1996 movie starring Gena Rowlands, Marisa Tomei, and Jake Lloyd. The movie was directed by Nick Cassavetes, son of Gena Rowlands. Rowlands and Tomei both received SAG Award nominations for their performances.
Rowlands plays Mildred, an older woman whose troubled twentysomething daughter, Annie (Moira Kelly), has just left home. Shortly after Annie leaves, Mildred befriends Monica (Tomei), a single mother from across the street, and Mildred eventually finds herself babysitter of Monica's young son, J.J. (Lloyd). Throughout the film, Monica and J.J. inadvertently teach Mildred valuable life lessons about herself and her relationships with others.
