SO, THERE WE ARE? WHERE ARE WE? Sunday I was p at 5:30 a.m. I made a pot of coffee and settled down to watch a movie on my Roku NETFLIX ******************** one randomly ? not having heard a word about it but liking the actor. It proved to be a 5 star treat on the scale of 1-5. It was eclectic, whimsical and highly enjoyable. I saw snippets of
horribly hilarious! I would just buy the movie and see it when Im feeling down. Ive experienced so many eccentric peoplr like this in my life. It is extremely heartwarming. Has a wonderfully happy ending. Superb timing.
A funny, sweet film. One great appeal of moving to NY is the possibility to reinvent yourself. But once reinvented, who do you hang out with? If you're lucky: Kevin Kline, John C. Reilley, and Marion Seldes.

This odd collection of oddballs doesn't quite play out as a satisfying movie. Full Review
