So that movie was on last night again… the one with a the karne kahel look alike… thought she was British heavier she has the same face oh and with red hair instead of blond hair… … same face as the little girl who stole my khaki cashmere sweater…
It was called the bad mother’s handbook.… the actress who actually played a woman named karen was: Catherine Tate
i copied and pasted the info… if your interested… I almost laugh at the irony…. life imitating art.. or art imitating life… i couldn’t watch most of the movie…especially when she played this horrid and mean person…who verbally abused and belittled her daughter…. her own daughter… uck… since it was on tv. I’m assuming that somehow she had this transformation and probably became this caring and thoughtful person.. .. but then not all televisions shows are anything like real life… right?

[edit] Plot
The Bad Mother’s Handbook depicts the story of one year in the lives
of three women. In this television adaptation of Kate Long’s best
selling novel, Catherine Tate plays Karen, who is a frustrated woman in
her thirties whose whole life and identity are shattered when she
discovers a long-kept secret. Holly Grainger plays Karen’s clever and
hormonal teenage daughter Charlotte, while Anne Reid appears as Karen’s
mother, Nan, who is suffering from Alzheimer’s. Robert Pattinson is also
a supporting character as lovable yet nerdy, Daniel Gale. The movie
presents an insight into the life of motherhood and childhood, dwelling
on the themes that no two mothers are alike, but that ultimately love is
the most important thing of all.
