Eva Mendes Is No Mother of the Year in GIRL IN PROGRESS Clip

Eva Mendes stars as a single mother to a intelligent teenager in GIRL IN PROGRESS. Too preoccupied with her own problems, Eva Mendes' character doesn't seem to understand why her daughter Ansiedad is rebelling in this clip from the dramedy directed by La Misma Luna's Patricia Riggen.

GIRL IN PROGRESS stars Eva Mendes, Cierra Ramírez, Eugenio Derbez, Matthew Modine, Patricia Arquette, and Disney's Raini Ramirez.  In GIRL IN PROGRESS, Ansiedad's (Cierra Ramirez) English teacher, Ms. Armstrong (Patricia Arquette), introduces her students to classic coming-of-age stories. Ansiedad decides to jump start her own coming of age and all the pain associated with it, as a shortcut to “adulthood” and more importantly a life without her mom. Grace (Mendes) doesn't see her daughter's needs, but focuses on her two jobs and her affair with a married man (Matthew Modine). As her misguided plan unravels, in some comedic yet poignant series of events, both Ansiedad and Grace must learn that sometimes growing-up means acting your own age.
