In a quaint, coastal New England town, Oren Little (Michael Douglas) is its biggest irritant. He\u2019s rude to dogs, kids, pregnant ladies\u2014pretty much anyone with the temerity to smile at him. Long widowed, Oren is eager to sell his family home and escape his past, until his troubled, adult son (Austin Lysy) drops off his nine-year-old daughter (Sterling Jerins) before heading to prison. Oren wrangles his singer neighbor, Leah (Diane Keaton), to help watch the granddaughter he\u2019s never met, a situation that draws the pair closer to their adorable, unintentional charge\u2014and to each other. Rob Reiner\u2019s comedy-drama has issues beyond Reiner\u2019s character\u2019s hideous toupee. Douglas and Keaton make a nice pair, but the screenplay gives them little sparkling repartee and the plot features absolutely no surprises. The film\u2019s biggest value is as a palate cleanser. Reiner gently urges us to look for happiness at home and shows that embracing forgiveness can open our hearts to unexpected happiness. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
