LFRibeiro's rating
I absolutely adore this movie; in large measure for Holly Hunter and the rest for the writing that so perfectly captures the mess that can go on in middle-age. You are far from dead, but, often times, you're at a huge cross-roads. What matters? What should one commit to? What about one's wants? Hopes? Dreams? Is everything dead because you're old enough to know "know better?" These are questions this film tackles straight one in a funny, poignant fashion. In addition, this is a terrific slice-of-life of that mid-life transition: painful, funny, awkward, over-zealous, hopeful... Great acting from Hunter, DeVito and the great Queen Latifah. I usually abhore a soundtrack that directs audience response, but this one is just overt and yet subtle enough to work wonders. Brownstone and The Confessional/If You Love Me is a tremendous film moment. Enjoy!
