A dire little comedy.

It is, in short, the kind of movie where the director is always cutting to reaction shots of a basset hound: 'nuff said.

Maxie does as little with its original inspiration as is humanly possible.

Rated: 0.5/4

The problem is the excessively cute script which is riddled with [too] many coy posings and silly set ups.

A great little movie! Light-hearted and easy to watch for just relaxing. Of course, the ever great actresses Glenn Close and the talented Ruth Gordon. I have been trying to locate a copy on DVD, but the price is exorbitant and now it is out of stock.

It's not ground breaking, but I loved it. I've seen it many times (which is rare for me) and loved it every time. It's simply fun. And Glen Close is wonderful in it.

A directionless and flaccid affair -- an uncharacteristic misfire for the usually dependable Glen CLose.
