Audience Member How did this movie get such high reviews? It was painfully boring, interspersed with moments that were painfully embarrassing to watch. Nick was just an awful human being, no way that many attractive women would've put up with his shit, only his poor suffering girlfriend was somewhat likable and interesting. Andi MacDowel was great but she deserved better material than this and seeing her deal with her awful family was just tiresome, and ultimately the storyline didn't go anywhere. In the end, the entire movie just seemed...pointless. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review kris r I absolutely hated this movie. Hulu says, "Andie MacDowell shines as a mother exploring a new beginning while watching her sons' lives fall apart in this funny and inspiring drama." It also classifies it as a drama and romance. I kept waiting for funny and inspiring but never saw them. I waited for the romance, but instead saw the childish son acting out. Even if you you just lost your dad, you can be a decent person. The movie was full of the grief from losing a loved one, but it didn't really show a lot of that grief and desperation. Instead, it showed the deep, passive-aggressive anger of Chris O'Dowd's character and a complete lack of character development in all the roles throughout the entire movie. It never showed the mother exploring anything...there were a couple after sex scenes, one where she's sitting in a bar drinking a glass of wine alone and goes in to bop for a second on the dance floor, another when she's in the middle of making love with a new man, but no cohesive journey. Everything felt flat, boring and lifeless. And the ending? I just sat there and thought, "What was the point?" I just wasted an hour and a half of my life.

Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Watched it recently using boxxy software app. There are some really good scenes of relationship dysfunction here but the occasionally jarring edits between scenes of indeterminate time really undermine a lot of it. The style of the film was not for me, despite its obviously shot on film and gives a lot of space for its actors. Though, this is the type of film that completely relies on the actors' performances. I feel like some of these performances would be more notable if they were given better material to work with. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a seriously disappointiing movie. Having someone as beautiful as Andie MacDowell is not enough to carry the filim, indeed itis partof the problem. MacDowell playing the role of a mother of two grown men never achieved credibility in the roleand her looks seriouslydiminished the subordinatefemale actors. Grief is a searing, random experience and, while, on occasion, this was adequately presented, too much of the film consisted of inchoate scenes of rage and emotion.Where this was notenough, there were numerous sex scenes which did not adequately convey who was screwing who! I think it is safe to say, if we don'tknow who is screwing who in a film, then the audience is the one being screwed! Avoid this film. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review nilufer e I do respect the idea behind the film and the cast was good too but I haven't lost anyone so I really can't relate to grief stages where people do unreasonable stuff and act out. I got very bored to be honest. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
