Directed by: David Frankel
Starring: Meryl Streep, Tommy Lee Jones, Steve Carell
Running time: 100 minutes
Kay and Arnold Soames are a couple
of empty nesters whose marriage has grown stale after more than 30 years
together. In a last ditch effort to find the spark that will reignite the flame
in their couple, Kay forces her husband’s hand a bit to have him travel with
her to a coastal town in Maine for marriage counselling with a psychiatrist
named Dr. Feld.
This is a cute romantic comedy with a very mature story, which is actually refreshing. The performances offered by the three leads raise this movie to another level. Meryl Streep is truly believable as this uptight housewife trying to save her marriage. Tommy Lee Jones plays a version of his usual character, and he does it well. Carell showed much restraint in a role that did not demand being overly funny. All things considered, this was a fun evening of movie-watching with the wife.
