5/10
comedy without comedy
25 May 2015
Oren Little (Michael Douglas) is a bitter selfish real estate agent after the death of his wife. He's trying to sell the family home. Leah (Diane Keaton) is his happy neighbor at Little Shangri-La. None of his neighbors like him but he owns the townhouse complex. Leah also had lost her spouse and has uncontrolled weeping. Then Oren's estranged son shows up after getting clean from drug abuse. He is forced to leave behind his daughter Sarah, who was unknown to Oren previously, after the court system screwed him over.

Michael Douglas is grumpy and Diane Keaton is quirky cute. Neither is funny in here. Rob Reiner is embarrassing himself. It's his own fault since he's the director. The kid is cute but it's too obvious. She doesn't have the big personality needed to compete against these two cinematic legends. The story moves too slowly. The two stars are struggling to find the comedy.
