Every movie I have ever seen with Diane has been excellent!

If it were anyone but MD, I would be looking forward to it as to storyline and Diane Keaton, who is always adorable.

But I can't stand MD, so I am very ambivalent about seeing it.

I was going to see it today but didn't go because of the horrible reviews.

I'd see it despite the reviews. I can't tell you how many movies I've enjoyed even though the critics said how lousy it was. And vice versa.

I go by which actors are in a movie, and what kind of mood I'm in.

I love Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton, and I'm so happy that he's in remission from his cancer.

Hi scottie.....sorry it took so long to come back....I was on the phone with my SIL...she is a talker...haha....

Basically MD is waiting to sell his home so he is living in a small place next door to DK...his estranged son....who is a former user...drops off his daughter and a stray dog he found on his way over....(this was really funny).....son is going to jail....

MD shoves the 9 year old off on DK.....and then the story evolves around him trying to find the girls mother...selling his home...getting his son out of jail..painting the granddaughters room purple....(which he hates)....and so on and so on...

Obviously the ending is sweet....

I don't care what the reviews have said...it was truly a lovely movie...and my granddaughter loved it, too....

Thank you Circles! Sounds like something we would enjoy. I appreciate the details!

I do read reviews but I don't always take their advice.

It's directed by Rob Reiner.

The writer, Mark Andrus, also wrote two movies I really do like:

"As Good as It Gets" and "My Life as a House."

Both of those are films I've watched more than once. So I'm interested in seeing this new movie. Thanks for the review, circles!

It was just OK. not as good as the very similar plot line in ""As Good AS It Gets"" with Jack Nicholson

I didn't see As Good As It Gets, KathyPet....so I had nothing to compare to....I just know we loved it...

Oh circles, I hope you will rent "As Good As It Gets". It is a great film. The acting is fantastic in it. Of course Nicholson is always great but Greg Kinnear was wonderful also.

I haven't seen it, I probably won't see it in the movie theatre. It's not work a $12 ticket. But I'll watch it when it comes to cable.

Being in the age group who thought they would enjoy this movie, I along with two others saw this movie last week. I kept having to wake up one of my friends. Maybe we anticipated too much because of Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton, but we three we very disappointed. It moved at a snail's place, was quite boring with very strained acting by Michael Douglas. Not worth even the "senior" ticket price in our opinion.
