This film (with a terrible title) stars Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton and is both preposterous and wonderful. Jack plays an ageing lothario who won't date women under 30, and Diane plays a happily divorced playwright. She's too old for him, he's too immature for her. They fall in love.
Good things about the movie: Diane Keaton, Jack Nicholson, Amanda Peet, Keanu Reeves (I know!), the house she's supposed to live in, Frances McDormand.
Bad things about the movie: THE TITLE!; Frances McDormand only has three scenes, which is a CRIMINAL waste if ever I saw one; Diane Keaton wears these horrible high heeled wedge flip-flops; I don't live in that house on the beach.
Herself and I treat ourselves to SGG once a year, or more if we need cheering up. It's funny, well-observed, and as fluffy as a souffle.

thank god - for a moment i thought you meant that dreadful jack nicolson film with helen hunt where he was grumpy and everyone thinks it is the best film ever.
ReplyDeletethe one you refer to is quite sweet. i'm pretty sure you lent it to me!
man alive are you behind on your movies.....
ReplyDeleteNever, never, interrupt me, okay? Not if there's a fire, not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my home and one week later there's a smell coming from there that can only be a decaying human body and you have to hold a hanky to your face because the stench is so thick that you think you're going to faint. Even then, don't come knocking. Or, if it's election night, and you're excited and you wanna celebrate because some fudgepacker that you date has been elected the first queer president of the United States and he's going to have you down to Camp David, and you want someone to share the moment with. Even then, don't knock. Not on this door. Not for ANY reason. Do you get me, sweetheart?
ReplyDeleteI might be the only person on the face of the earth that knows you're the greatest woman on earth. I might be the only one who appreciates how amazing you are in every single thing that you do...and in every single thought that you have, and how you say what you mean, and how you almost always mean something that's all about being straight and good. I think most people miss that about you, and I watch them, wondering how they can watch you bring their food, and clear their tables and never get that they just met the greatest woman alive. And the fact that I get it makes me feel good...about me.
ReplyDeleteOops, sorry. Wrong movie...
