Directed by: Justin Zackham
Starring: Robert De Niro, Diane Keaton, Katherine Heigl
Running time: 89 minutes
Don and Ellie Griffin were married
for 20 years before getting divorced. From their marriage came three kids, now
grown adults. Their youngest, who they adopted from Columbia, is set to be married.
So as to not offend his birth mother, travelling to the US for the first time,
they have to pretend to still be a couple over the weekend of the wedding, in
spite of the fact that Don now has another woman, Bebe, in his life.
What could have been a very silly, pointless flick was greatly improved in my view by a talented ensemble cast. Some of the humor missed the mark but other lines made me chuckle. It is a fun little movie for a weekend where you do not want to overthink things. It was also a nice treat to see a Robin Williams performance I had missed.
