Blythe Danner gets a lovely starring role as a 70something widow, who's been contently living in virtual solitude for 20 years.

After a sad opening, she ventures into the possibility of a relationship with 2 very different men (Sam Elliott & Martin Starr). In addition to this, she hangs with a Bridge trio of typical characters. Even though the dialogue could have been sharper and funnier, the performances are all engaging (esp. Elliott). Many of the plot points are obvious, but the story still allows Danner to shine. This is the type of quiet personal film that sensitive mature audiences will appreciate, a bittersweet dramatic examination of aging, life and loss. Expand

Good actors, potentially good story but too many unlikely aspects -- how many widows wait 20 years to go out with anyone? Relationship with a young shy pool guy? Elusive rat in the house?

Relationship with a young shy pool guy? Elusive rat in the house? What is going on with the daughter? One night with a good man and he dies? The story seems to be grasping at straws of unrealistic and unlikely events because it has nothing else to say, no real message beyond the obvious, a lonely woman with a boring life and few options. Not enough meat for a real movie. Waste of good actors. Expand

Danner was interesting but I didn't really have much sympathy for her character. Her house was sterile and she was too. She was either very emotionally shut-down or there was just nothing there. And her relationship with her daughter was odd. I could have almost been a depression commercial. Old people smoking pot: not funny. Maybe I wasn't quite old enough to be the target audience for this movie. There was just something disconnected about it. Expand
