Fluffy and Uneven
PostedDecember 29, 2009

This is a fluffy movie with some good moments. Meryl Streep is fabulous, Steve Martin is OK, and Alec Baldwin is good. It's a light-hearted Doris Day movie updated for this time. All the characters are wealthy and employed in apparently flexible work, and not just a little suspended disbelief is required for the uber-perfect house and home of the main character, and for many of the too-contrived scenes. (Going to your bakery after a party with a date and making croissants from scratch? Really?)
The story is thin, as are the characters (especially the kids).
But there are some funny moments (going to your child's grad. party stoned, on a first date, anyone?) and moments of decent dialog.
Save your money and wait til it comes out on DVD.

No, I do not recommend this movie.
