This is a fun movie and establishes Jon Hamm’s credentials as a comic actor-although I loved him in Mad Men. The dialogue in this movie deserves its own reward. I was glad to see that it showed an appreciation of past work by Chevy Chase but went even further on its own merits. Excellent character work by Marcia Gay Harden.

This is an exceptional film. Reese Witherspoon as producer, has shown once again good taste in choice of story. All of the actors show that they are up to the task of telling this remarkable tale. Did she or didn’t she? I’ll leave that up to you to decide. The girl’s talent and survivability when left alone to fend for herself is almost unbelievable. And the North Carolina swamplands provide a mysterious backdrop.
Daisy Edgar-Jones and David Strathairn (reminiscent of Gregory Peck in To Kill a Mockingbird) deserve special mention.

Emma Thompson plays an uptight widow who decides she wants the attentions of a sex worker. She lucked out with a very attractive , patient and unflappable male for hire. She is quite nervous and uneasy as I would imagine anyone would be. She is a woman who had a very non passionate sex life with her deceased husband. Leo Grande does all he can to calm her and doesn’t force the issue. By the fourth encounter she has blossomed and we get to see Leo’s vulnerability and past. It’s a satisfying film. for adults, of course. Fine acting and writing.

This is one of the best new offerings this season, if not the best. 2 very engaging characters interact in space and time – nude and clothed – with some very jaunty dialogue. It’s a breath of fresh air. There’s so much murder and mayhem on the tube this is a great respite. And I must say the nudity is handled very tastefully showing just so much of Mr. Theo James’s physique as modesty would allow. I hope that the powers that be can keep the humor and good times rolling. Can’t wait for the next instalment!

I love Billy Crystal…. But we all are getting on in years. There are lots of laugh out loud moments in this film about the memory loss of a comedy writer. Tiffany Haddish deserves a shout out as the person who agrees to be his caregiver and she is a breath of fresh air. Tune in , you will be glad you did.

I have read some negative reviews – but I liked this film. It is an unapologetic story of loss .
I even shed a tear at the end. I’m a Kevin Kline fan from way back. And I like Melissa McCarthy. No one takes themselves too seriously – it is all down – played. And the therapists get their just deserts.

I don’t think that this is the best film he’s done – but this is a pleasant little film. Mr. Eastwood’s character is asked by an old friend to locate and return his son – who is somewhere in Mexico. It’s a road picture. Old man , teenage Mexican. The kindness of strangers also figures in this film in the Senora who most graciously feeds them. My favorite line is ” I can’t cure OLD”. I don’t agree with his politics – but even in advanced age – Mr. Eastwood is a fine actor and director.
