Comedy

Diane Keaton is excellent as a middle-aged divorced and very successful playwright. She has a good relationship with her daughter Marin (Amanda Peet), who has brought her considerably older 'boyfriend' Harry - Jack Nicholson - to stay. And since I find all Jack Nicholson's characters to be sleazy, unattractive and untrustworthy, I found the storyline slightly disturbing,

There's humour, some of it slapstick, some of it involving partial nudity, and we did smile a few times. There are one or two thought-provoking moments, too, and the pace is good; I was absorbed in the story, and irritated by the ending which suggests the characters got right under my skin. Rated 15 but unlikely to be of interest to teens anyway.

A middle-aged woman falls in love with her daughter's elderly boyfriend.

2/4 (Indifferent)

Dumb, frustrating, and absurdly long.
