I didn't watch this when it came out in '22 because of all the reviews, so this year I decided to give it a chance.
I guess it just goes to show how different peoples' tastes are, because I thought it was great.
Marisol Nichols has never been one of my favorites, but she and Kris Polaha were both great. This took a lot of range to pull this off, but they did: funny, sweet, sad, bitter, all the emotions you go through in life except grief.
Maybe it's just because I'm a grumpy, snarky divorced guy, but I laughed a lot, recognizing my own life and having the same reactions as they did.
There is a homosexual couple in the movie, mostly for comic relief, but they did have a big smooch. That turns a lot of people off. Amy Groening, one of my favorites, as a quirky animal painter was good .
All in all, I'm sure I'll watch it again. To each his own.
