Angela W @RT84248393 Jul 11 Can we call it a road trip movie when it’s a mom & two sons? I’d say so. It starts with the purchase of a car in 1953 and the three proceed to drive, stop, linger awhile and move on. From NYC to LA with alternating wins & loss, funny and not so funny. The interior sets, costumes and identifiable locations add much to the story. It’s a mid century period piece and viewers interested in that era will enjoy it immensely See more Martha L @Annie46 Apr 24 Wonderful cast, great story. Zellweger as charming and believable as ever. See more Henry D @Henry_Domke Apr 15 Fun, stylish, good-natured road movie with a light screwball feel. The period details, especially the costumes and cars, are enjoyable to watch, and the script keeps things moving with a steady stream of funny quips. Renée Zellweger and Logan Lerman carry it well. It doesn’t aim for much depth, but it knows what it is. As Lorna said, "it’s like eating candy, it looks good and it sounds good," which feels exactly right.

Its about a lady (Anne Devereaux) who appears a bit of a bluffer, trying to be seen to be above her station, as it were, someone very much aspirational and keen to be seen as up and coming, a socialite. I suppose its about portraying, or maintaining an image once your situation has changed - trying to keep up with the Joneses a bit. I liked that the lighting is mostly quite soft - there's a moderate yellow tinge used and it has the look and feel of a 1920s-1940s film. It also features some fairly low tempo jazz/instrumental music played in the background at times, giving it a slight film noir feel, although this isn't a crime film of course. Anne is clearly not the sort of person we should want to aspire to ourselves and yet she's shown to clearly care for her children and she tries to do well for them. Reece Witherspoon does alright playing her. She is someone you can half laugh at and feel sorry for, to an extent, I reckon. I thought it was reasonably stylish and an easy and overall enjoyable watch, so I'd recommend it. See more 09/17/2021 3.0. This was a good movie about the Times See more Read all reviews
