Audience Member I realize this was a made for TV movie, but even this was pretty lame. And lately, Diane Keaton hasn't chosen good roles, common for aging actors and actresses. And why did it look like the film kept getting fuzzy under Keaton's neck? It's like somebody was trying to hide her aging neck wrinkles! How superficial can you get!! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a beautiful and tragic story. The cast was first rate and really made this something special. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Good cast. Uninspiring film, though. Mediocre script. Not bad, just not memorable.. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Good tear jerker. I love Diane Keaton. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Why is it that theres all such good actors and SUCH bad performances? Or was it the directing? Whatever it was... it was horrible. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This was okay. Great cast and interesting "slice of life" however the movie itself was kinda all over the place. Diane Keaton played her usually loopy self which I like but not in a role that requires her to be grieving over the death of her daughter. She was still all bubbly and silly. Super fun though to see Chris Pine playing a gay man (which reminds me I might just have to watch him as Captain Kirk again) and that cute guy from Cougar Town was good too, in an early role. Then there was the bearded lady; who may have just put me off soft serve ice cream forever.05.11 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
