Review of Home Again (2017) by Arthurw — 13 Jun 2019

My wife loves this movie. It's basically a good movie, but I have one critique. The second sentence below has a Flesch-Kincaid grade level score of 18.7, which is remarkable for a 5th grade student.

1. What began as a day like any other ended as anything but.

2. There must have been something pretty extraordinary in the air that day, even though, as always, it was 72 degrees and sunny in my new hometown, the weirdly wonderful city of Los Angeles, which, as it turns out, isn't much of a city at all.

Two additional observations point to production errors near the end of the movie. First, Harry sits down at the play next to Teddy. A short while later someone else (Harry's stand-in?) is sitting there. Secondly, after Isabel's play, Austen calls Rosie a theater detective, but before the word detective is said, she is already beginning to hold up a pretend spy glass. Rosie's "error" was insignificant, especially for very young child actress, but the scene should have been shot again.
