One group loves this movie, the rest of us are still trying to figure out why. OK I did love the nostalgia (for me personally) of seeing the Guthrie Theater in downtown Grove City, PA (one of the more repressive villes I know of, but it is the ancestral home) otherwise there was little to like.
As with most people in my group I found Dan Levy and Aubrey Plaza to be excellent. I too felt that Abby and Riley could have found happiness together sharing their common heartbreak.
There were so many cliches, so many stereotypes, and how did I miss that Sloane and her husband resolved all their differences in the background while Harper and Abby found eternal bliss in the closing minutes? How did the kids not get into huge trouble for having set Abby up for shop lifting?
It was painful, dreadful, slow, and I was really looking forward to a thoughtful and well acted treatment of an important moment. Better luck next year.
