This movie delivered what I expected it to deliver, but not what I had hoped it might deliver. The storyline is stale and predictable, as is the outcome. Meryl Streep's brilliant talent is constricted by the wimpiness of the script and that of her character. Tommy Lee Jones plays his trademark curmudgeon-with-a-heart-of-gold character. Nothing unexpected happens in this movie. Nothing much happens at all. That is, except for a lot of product placement. Did Coldwater Creek clothing company underwrite it ? This movie did not engage me on any level. Afterward, I felt as if I had been administered a mild sedative.
Don't waste your money on this movie just because Meryl is in it. It's as weak as day-old iced tea.
Cons slow, weak & wimpy, beyond trite, a waste of talent, b-o-r-i-n-g
