Caught this movie last night. It was alot cuter than I thought it would be. Overall, I enjoyed the movie! :) Meryl Streep was delightful as an older woman having to chose between her ex-husband who cheated on her and a new beau, played by Steve Martin. I must say Steve Martin's performance of an emotionally fragile, yet adorable new beau, made half of the movie for me. John Krasinski as the daughter's fiance made the other half. His facial expressions were picture perfect each time.
Aside from the older woman next to me who not only answered her phone in the middle of the movie, but had a 3 minute conversation, it was a delightful movie-going experience. It was worth the night time ticket price I paid.
I don't think I'm going to purchase this one. I will make sure to catch it when it comes out on DVD from Netflix, but it's not a building block in my collection. :)
I will of course recommend this movie!! It was a new idea, the characters worked wonderfully with each other, and it made me laugh throughout the movie. I think the running time of 2 hours could have been cut down a bit, but nothing to complain about. Just make sure to hit the restroom before you sit down.
I say go see it. If you miss it in theaters, it will be just as cute as at home on DVD. Doesn't matter where you see it, just see it! :)

- I’m just another girl next door. I am a huge movie buff and like to think I have seen many of them. :) I don’t have a particular genre that I gravitate more, but rather I enjoy experiencing any new aspect; a new genre, a new style or a new media. I am graduating from college in a few months with my Bachelor’s degree and like many college graduates these days, I am having trouble picking a career path that suites me. So, I thought, since my dream goal is to be the next Ebert & Beth-Jo, I have to start somewhere. I have created a movie review blog for my own personal time to hopefully put me closer to the prime time show and a professional blog for my education purposes dedicated to the understanding and discussion of education in different Medias. Naturally, I hope you will enjoy both blogs. Both are very different from each other and will offer different voices but with the same underlying tones. I hope you enjoy!!
