'Cutlass' -- Kate Hudson's Short Film About Parenting

Monday April 27, 2009

Categories: Shorts

Kate Hudson wrote and directed an endearing short film with an all-star cast that is an official selection of the Tribeca Film Festival. Virginia Madsen stars as a mother whose daughter (Dakota Fanning) has a dream that reminds her of the dream she had when she was young. "Twilight's" Kristen Stewart plays Madsen's character as a teenager and Kurt Russell (Hudson's real-life step-dad) plays her father. The cast also includes Chevy Chase. It is well worth a look for its heartwarming story and appealing performances.

I really enjoyed the short.
However, since my English is not perfect at all, I still miss a couple of sentences (specially when young Robin is trying to convince her father about buying the car).
Is there anybody with a complete transcription? It would be a great help because I would like to take the short to my English classes.

Thanks, MAF! I've emailed you the contact information for Kate Hudson, who wrote and directed it, so you can ask her for a copy of the script. Thanks for visiting my site and I think your English is very good!
