Nobody likes real-estate agent Oren Little (Michael Douglas), and he prefers it that way. He's deliberately mean to anyone who crosses his path and wants nothing more than to sell one final house and retire. Oren's life turns upside-down when his estranged son drops off a granddaughter (Sterling Jerins) he didn't know existed. Oren has no idea how to take care of a child, so he pawns the girl off on his neighbor, Leah (Diane Keaton) -- but he learns how to open his heart eventually.

Critics Consensus

And So It Goes aims for comedy, but with two talented stars stuck in a half-hearted effort from a once-mighty filmmaker, it ends in unintentional tragedy.

3/5

Douglas and Keaton do just as well with the romantic angle, mostly because he's so adept at dispelling any whiff of mawkishness. Oren's essential orneriness remains, no matter what, and the film turns out to be a lot of fun because of him.

Whatever happened to Rob Reiner?... [He] seems utterly disengaged as he ploddingly assembles a film whose potential is never realised.

C-

[A] depressingly monotonous Rob Reiner-directed comedy starring Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton.

1.5/5

From the perspective of technical craft, nothing really seems out of place. None of it seems to help the frustratingly uninspired narrative, however, turning “And So It Goes” into a largely inoffensive but depressingly fruitless viewing experience.

About as interesting as a Blue Plate Special when it could be, considering the talent involved, as richly textured as a fine, aged wine.

And So It Goes is a tone deaf As Good As It Gets wannabe.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

It was entertaining. We don’t need more drama in a movie. just a smile. A chuckle and a Feel good movie. Simple, yet possible

I was hoping for a break from the typical Amazon movie garbage, and it is different from that, but not necessarily any better. And so it Goes is an attempt to tell a story about 3 damaged people who come together and make each other better. It has all the elements of a tug on your heart strings feel good rom com, except it feels like a Franken-movie. the parts don't fit quite right and something is off. There are too many convenient sob backstories. Douglas is not horrible, but he doesn't really fit in that cantankerous yet loveable bucket. Keaton was ok, but her singing scenes were painful and thank goodness for fast forward. Not that she is a bad singer, but SO tedious. And they are both too old - I get it, second wind and all, but this looks more like about the 5th wind. Especially Douglas. I think as the movie moves along, it starts to feel less forced, but way too late to save this thing.

Meh of a movie. Diane Keaton carries it, Michael Douglas ruins it. Cliche storyline.

They tried to make a cute, funny movie but it seemed contrived and lacked chemistry. The 10 year old girl was good. Almost like two actors, late in their careers, trying to create the same kind of interaction they had when they were younger, but just weren't into it. It did get better near the end, but it wasn't an easy ride.
