Joanne Woodward is a widowed mother of two school-aged daughters living in an old house in urban Connecticut. She is slightly eccentric and spends most of her time blaming the world for her troubles. Her daughters are somewhat embarrassed by her behavior and try to keep her away from school. However, when one of them wins the science fair, to which the title of the film refers, she shows up drunk for the acceptance speech. Occasionally incisive but never riveting, although Woodward, and the daughters, are quite good in their roles.
