I have read all the reviews about 'thin plot' and 'thin acting' - come on critics, get over yourselves!!! As far as I'm concerned, I go to movies to be entertained - and with this movie, I was thoroughly entertained. Yes, there were some 'thin' moments, but overall I found it charming.
So many people can relate to an aging parent going through memory loss; the dying wishes of a family member; a child flunking out because they party too much the 1st year away; learning late in life about dark secrets of the past. I think all of these things were handled in the movie with great respect. I think the director and actors did a great job in portraying these life situations.
In the audience, I saw smiles, I heard hearty laughter and I saw teary eyes - the true meter of movie entertainment.
