Summary: Carter Webb (Brody), a screenwriter living in L.A., goes into a tailspin when he is dumped by his beautiful, movie-star girlfriend. He decides to go visit his sick grandmother (Dukakis) in Michigan to take stock of his life. Once there, Carter is pulled into the lives of a neighborhood woman (Ryan) and her two daughters (Stewart and Vega), who are going through some tough times of their own. (Warner Bros. Pictures)
Brody and Ryan played their characters really well and felt a connection with the characters from the first time they met, however i didnt really get the grandmother thing...worth a watch !
"So pillow-soft that its most jarring element is the countenance of Meg Ryan, whose once warm, sunshiny face has been nipped and tucked into a rigid feline Joker grin." - Nick Schager
Entirely different from the movie in the trailer... It is interesting to see Meg Ryan in all her aged, sagging glory, and I was beginning to miss Seth Cohen, so thanks for that. There's a shell of a good movie here, but they failed to fill it with anything interesting or surprising.
It's honestly really not very bad, it just doesn't really do anything to surprise. Parts of the film seem to be designed to make you feel bad, but it just comes off as artificial. There are some good performances, but this suffers from the usual movie-world cliche in which every girl around every corner is gorgeous, single, and immediately attracted to our hard-luck protagonist should he show the slightest bit of interest in her.
