And So It Goes (review)

This is one of those films with a generic title that’s destined to fade into mediocrity. Michael Douglas plays the cranky, self-centered old man whose heart is softened when he’s visited by the granddaughter he never knew about. Toss in Diane Keaton as the sweet, slightly sassy woman next door and you have a formula that’s painfully predictable. Surprisingly, his conversion to caring takes place quickly and the conflict turns to their romance. Douglas manages to land a few zingers, Frances Sternhagen (as the cantankerous friend) has the best lines and Keaton sings a couple of lovely songs. While this is lite on laffs, the leads’ personalities may make it appealing to mature audiences looking for innocuous blandness.

 

2.5 out of 5 stars (2.5 / 5)
