Storyline

Oren Little has turned his back on all his neighbors and shunned the notion of being kind to others after the death of his wife. Next door neighbor Leah has put her soul, and her tears, into her stagnant singing career after the death of her husband. But then Oren's son shows up needing Oren to take care of his daughter Sarah. Oren has no patience for children, Leah never had any of her own, but 9-year-old Sarah just might be the spark that allows these two lonely souls to turn their home into a Little Shangri-La.

Simplistic "Elderly" Romantic Dramedy with M. Douglas and D. Keaton
17 November 2014 | by (the Edge of the Cosmos) – See all my reviews

If you were told to watch a movie directed by Rob Reiner, starring Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton, with a budget of $30 mil. you could think that you are about to experience a movie with powerful emotions and an interesting plot.

Actually, in the end, this is a rather simple movie and its course is obvious from the beginning.

Michael Douglas plays Oren Little, a realtor who's about to retire after he makes his last sale, and Diane Keaton plays his singer next-door neighbor. What will happen between them is to be seen (I won't spoil it for you) but I'm pretty sure you have already guessed.

The acting from the 2 veteran actors is effortless but the direction from the once-mighty Rob Reiner is too simple and targeting more for a few easy laughs if nothing else. Note that Reiner is also in the movie as the pianist who plays for Diane Keaton's character.

It's a dramedy more than just a comedy but even the dramatic elements are more likely to promote laughter, if not anything else.

There a couple of good songs sang by Keaton (?) and you also get to see Grease's Frankie Valli in a cameo appearance.

Overall: It's OK. Douglas/Keaton are fun to watch, but don't expect greatness.
