It was a fun little movie. Should it have cost 90 million dollars? No. Does that affect your viewing pleasure? Yes. It's hard not to think of the enormous money these talented people are getting for slumming through a harmless light film. Goldie Hawn does that "Giggle" that she's been doing for 40 years, and it's starting to wear thin. Diane Keaton is daffy. Warren is charming. But all in all, not a bad attempt at a film.
