Mack & Rita

I don't normally write one star reviews and I'm a huge fan of Diane Keaton, so it hurts me to say this but this movie was a complete disaster! First of all, the story moved so slow that I was practically left with no other choice but to turn it off halfway through the movie. Second, the movie just felt so lost and with no direction. The jokes felt very forced and it didn't seem as if what was happening was going anywhere. I waited until Diane was on screen, hoping it would help pick up the pace a bit, but even her amazing energy could not save this. It could've been so much funnier but instead, every joke just fell flat. In the end, I decided it was not worth any more of my time so I stopped it.

Why on earth was this movie even made? Stupid jokes, lame story that's been done a hundred times before, and even lamer cast.

The Diane Keaton character's voice was so annoyingly high pitched that it was hard to even hear what was being said. Waste of time.

I havent seen this many perfectly good jokes fail to land since VIBES. Why? Bad chemistry, poor timing? Cast is fine, script is good, but by fifteen minutes in i thought so many movies are made but not released - WHY NOT THIS? Ah well, it looked nice.

Our ladies group got together for lunch and then saw this movie. It did not take long to realize the indigestion we were getting wasn't from lunch, but it was this lifeless and dead movie.

Diane Keaton is usually a good actress who brings a lot of character and laughs to any movie... but she has lost everything with this movie!

The "so-called" funny remarks fell silent with everyone in the theater, and the timing was horrible.

We wasted our time, we wasted our good hard-earned money, and along with the over-priced concessions, it was a costly dead afternoon!

A few days after we saw it, we noticed it had been removed from the listing of movies at the theater... well, the writing was on the wall for this one! Good bye and good riddance!

Save yourself. Stay home. Watch the grass grow. Go see a different movie. Try a new restaurant. But DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE. I warned you...go see where the crawdads sing.
