And it's really not much better than that. There are some good plot twists, like the play. It's watchable, but not anything to see twice, that's for sure.

And there are real problems with the cast. Sure, Frances McDormand and Amanda Peet are here, and they're really good (and go a long way toward rendering this one actually watchable) but the three main characters are played by Diane Keaton, Jack Nicholson and (get ready) Keanu Reeves.

Yes, you read it right. Keanu "I'll never smile because my face might crack and they'll find out I can't act my way out of a paper bag and make me give back all the money" Reeves.

Sigh. So here you have a love story. With Diane Keaton spending most of the movie like this: Wah! Wah! Wah! Wave hands in the air! Nervous! Compulsive! Wah! (20 seconds of normal behavior) <Repeat>

She falls in love with Jack Nicholson. Now, I guess that wouldn't be so unbelieveable...I mean, they are presented in this movie as being of un certain age, ok, no problem there. But how do they meet? Because Nicholson is dating her thirty year old daughter (Peet). Huh? What on EARTH would a cutie like Peet see in Nicholson? He is just not (and I'm sure that many women will heap scorn and loathing on my head for saying this) repeat NOT SEXY. He just isn't. An excellent actor, interesting to watch, plays in a wonderful variety of roles...but he just doesn't have the kind of charm a man like that would need. Now, if it were Sean Connery playing that part, disbelief would be bobbing happily about four hundred feet above our heads, floating gently out to space...but not Jack Nicholson.

And then there's the other problem: Keaton's other love interest is (I kid you not) Keanu Reeves. This is unbelieveable for many reasons, the biggest being that it's hard to believe that Reeves has any emotions at all, since he certainly doesn't SHOW any...and Keanu Reeves and Jack Nicholson are both in love with Diane Keaton. And she's HAPPY about this? it doesn't make her want to scream and bathe in lysol to get the taint off? hah.

Reality police: look at the cover of the DVD. Is this creative airbrushing or what? Diane Keaton is 57, and ol' Jack is pushing 70, but here they look like they're not a day over 30.

What a crock. Make a movie for the baby boomers but put younger faces on the cover so people won't think it's about (shudder) OLD PEOPLE. This is akin to the travesty of going to a large-size store that uses thin mannequins and pins the sample clothes back so they don't look so big (I'm not kidding, pisses me off!)

Mildly amusing, but no great shakes. Don't go out of your way to see it, it won't change your life if you don't...and certainly won't make it any better if you do.
