Review of Home Again (2017) by Acacia — 08 Sep 2017
This is a very sweet movie and the ladies I was with all emjoyed it. Reese Witherspoon, Alice, is turning 40 and newly separated. At a birthday celebration, she meets a much younger guy who falls for her.
(That can happen in real life, can't it?). The next morning, everyone, including her mother, very nicely played by Candice Bergen, ends up at her house. Mom is a famous actress and Alice's father is a famous director.
The younger guy is part of a trio of young men looking for a big break in Hollywood to get their movie made. Before Alice knows what is happening, her mother has in ited the guys to move into Alice's casita.
Alice has concerns for her young daughters. But they take to the guys instantly. Alice tries on her relationship with the younger man, and everone gets along swimmingly for a while. What I enjoyed about this movie is that it did not go over the top in any way.
The situation does not seem at all preposterous. The two girls are sweet and not typical obnoxious movie kids. Everything is tastefully done. There is no detour down Raunchy Road. It is a lovely, sweet, fun and funny movie.
Definitely worth seeing.
