  Review by Lebowskidoo 🇨🇦 🎬 🍿 ★★★★

  Pretty slow going romance about Diane Keaton and Sam Shepard in love and discussing movies, all the while their children, Robert Patrick and Diane Lane are falling for each other also.

  It gets very melancholy, but this cast sells it really well and I was buying.

  Review by audrey ★★½

  2023 summer of trash: a movie featuring someone from a 90s sitcom (tate donovan - friends).
  Obscure 80s/90s Films Binge #168

  The whiplash I got between the sweet and compelling relationship between Diane Keaton and Sam Shepard to the scenes with the awful misogynistic man babies (as well as Diane Lane totally settling for the son) was so severe. I don't know if I can even say I liked this movie; I definitely enjoyed the half with the older actors but the inclusion of the kids was so detrimental.

  The fact that the movie takes place over three decades was actually a really neat touch and added a lot to the narrative, although I did feel the time jumps were…

  Review by “Pink-Bee” ★ 2

  I was very bored and mostly annoyed watching this. 

  “Don’t move to Canada! They ice fish up there!” Is the funniest line ever written! 😂😂😂

  I hate this movie solely for Tate Donovan! Could have done without his character Eddie.

  great segue here from sam shepard brooding over his comatose wife's hospital bed -> his large idiot son lounging poolside with his buddy and opining about nipples

  Review by Learic Life ★★★½

  Such an intimate little film that I think some might miss how quietly confident it is, and how stellar the chemistry between Sam Shepard and Diane Keaton really is.  
           Has a bit of a Bogdanovich vibe to the filmmaking, exploring the intricacies of small-town life and the people that live there.  Shepard owns a thrift shop and after his wife passes away, he has become a bit of a ladies man around town without being too showy about it — they just sort of flock to him.  His prowling is put to rest when Keaton moves to town and the two hit it off.  They start dating and become infatuated with each other.  Not only…

  Oh darn, I had a whole review written but then my computer died. I won't try to recreate the part where I was confused about the time jumps. That's what happens when I look away from a movie.

  And I don't have the full quotes now, but:

  "Don't move to Canada. They ice fish up there." Yes, I can confirm that. There are some equally unpleasant things in the States, though.

  "By 2040, there won't be any trees left." Just about.

  "Old clothes are popular now. New clothes have holes in them." XD

  Robert Mitchum film? Which one.

  Didn't care for the kids' storyline too much (the son's friend was awful). Could have done with all Shepard and Keaton.

  I like watching for Sam's crescent moon tattoo, now.

  Imagine being in love with someone who is in love with you. Even if time and personality keep you apart.

  End credits song:
  🎶 you don't save love for a rainy day 🎶
  I GET IT

  To think there's a different version of this story, where it's romantic that he's holding on to his wife.

  Whatever Robert Patrick and Tate Donovan were up to, terrible.

  Review by Morgan Colbert ★★★

  "We thought we were alone."
  "Well that was grossly apparent."

  "Everything is easier to do when you do it too late."

  God I love Sam Shepard.

  Well not my favorite movie by far, but some good lines, wallups of emotion, some good age makeup and a joy to see old Austin. My coworker told me she was an extra in this film, so I got a lot of joy doing my search and find.

  All stars for nice things to look at, not for the boredom playing out in the spaces in between. The type of movie I would watch on Sunday while growing up and trapped with whatever was playing on the t.v.

  The only thrill I get out of this movie is from watching it end.

  Review by Chip Hall ★★½

  Stilted dialogue and it more than overstays its welcome.

  Review by Sara ★★½

  Sort of depressing, but a bit boring.

  Review by Ryan Beaupit ½

  The editing and writing in this is pretty terrible. I'm sure if it was a feel-good Peter Farrelly film about solving race, it would be nominated for Best EVERYTHING, though. :shrug:
