Added DiffLines:

* JewishMother: Zig-zagged, played with and beyond.
** Rose's and Maggie's late mother was a sweet, loving, doting mother to her girls but had her own issues with Bipolar Disorder and her marriage. The movie version has Rose mimic a stereotypical JewishMother voice when thinking of what her mother would say during her bridal shower.
** Their grandmother was a loving and proper wife and mother who did over-protect her only child (but not without reason) and tried her best to do good by her granddaughters.
** Her friend Mrs. Lefkowitz is a comedic and straight example of the trope, but she is dealing with a middle-aged son who is immature.
** Sydelle is a straight example with her daughter, but with her stepdaughters she is all the negative qualities and more without the maternal aspects of the trope.
** Simon's mother is described as looking like a "Jewish Tammy Faye Bakker" minus the eye makeup, she is a loving mother and woman in contrast to the bourgeois Sydelle, but she also is a Professor.

According to Sydelle, Marcia: had a bought a size 6 Vera Wang for her wedding and had it taken in, is well-educated, has a great career, is a wife and mother, beautiful, had a perfect wedding (helped that the photos didn't show below the knee), and does everything right that Rose and Maggie don't. Marcia falls off this pedestal when she joins Jews For Jesus.
