Movie Review by Misty

January 4th, 2008

Maybe I was emotional when I watched this...

Erica Barry: Are you crying?
Erica Barry: Yeah. It's my new thing. I've gotten abnormally brilliant at it.
Marin: Why? What is it?
Erica Barry: I'm in love. Ain't it great? Seems like I gotta learn how to that... love-them-and-leave-them stuff, you know?
Marin: Oh mom, I hate this. Now do you get my theory about all this? You gotta self-protect.
Erica Barry: You don't really buy this stuff you say, do you? You don't actually think that you can outsmart getting hurt?
Marin: I think it's worth trying.
Erica Barry: Listen to me. You can't hide from love for the rest of your life because maybe it won't work out... maybe you'll become unglued? It's just not a way to live.
Marin: Are you telling me this is good? What's happened to you?
Erica Barry: I think you should consider the possibility that you and I are more alike than you realize. I let someone in, and I had the time of my life.
Marin: I've never had the time of my life.
Erica Barry: I know, baby. And I say this from the deepest part of my heart. What are you waiting for?

Maybe I was emotional when I watched this flick, but I really thought it was good. I mean Jack Nicholson is the perfect actor for this role, because that's how he's portrayed in the spotlight...and probably how he is off camera. I don't think I've ever noticed Diane Keaton too much before this movie...maybe it was her naked scene, who knows?

I found the story heartfelt and funny and sometimes very sad. I love the description above from Amazon...it's really a great description. Keaton's crying scenes are a little over the top, but she had me crying with her, so I guess she did a good job. I thought that Keanu Reeves was also really great at the role of the younger guy that likes the more successful older woman. He's cute when he's flirting with her and she just doesn't know how to take it.

It's not for everyone and gets a little long in some spots, but I really enjoyed it. Check it out if you feel so inclined.
