Mrs. Lambert Remembers Love

Memories can spark the most beautiful adventure of a lifetime.

No one could ask for a more loving grandmother than Lil (Oscar and Golden Globe winner Ellen Burstyn, Requiem for a Dream). Widowed, and still mourning the death of her son, Lil's last cherished reflection of the past is her grandson, Jared (Ryan Todd, First Knight), of whom she has custody. Etta Crew (Sherry Hursey, Bring It On), of Social Services isn't convinced that love is enough. Suspecting that Lil's diminishing mental capacity could jeopardize Jared's upbringing, she works to place the boy with his greedy uncle. On Lil and Jared's side is Clifford (Oscar and Golden Globe winner Walter Matthau, Grumpy Old Men, The Odd Couple), Lil's best friend and reluctant suitor. Fearing the inevitable, the protective Lil packs her bags, and with Jared in tow, heads toward unknown destinations and a hopeful future.

With limited funds and a lot of courage, Lil and Jared travel from city to city, from lost relatives to helpful strangers, and from motel to motel in search of a safe place to call home. However, as Lil's health begins to fail, young Jared suddenly finds himself in the role of caregiver. He has one destination in mind for himself and his grandmother: San Francisco, a city he's only read about and dreamed of. But when an accident leaves Lil hospitalized, she realizes their adventure is over. Waiting for them is Clifford, who has his own plans for making Lil and Jared's wishes for a happier life come true, and in turn becomes part of an inspiring transition for all of them at the journey's end.

Directed by Charles Matthau (The Grass Harp), it's a film of hope, of coming to terms with the past and accepting the future, and of the unbreakable bonds of love and family. Hallmark Entertainment's Mrs. Lambert Remembers Love is also a brilliant showcase for a stellar cast that embarks upon an unexpected journey of the heart that no one will want to miss.
