An average movie

Back in the 90’s, I saw ‘Unstrung Heroes’ which was Diane Keaton’s directing debut and even though it was barely seen when it was released, I thought it was a decent drama so I was quite eager to see her following directing effort. It was written by Nora Ephron and her sister and it didn’t become a success like other movies she wrote like ‘When Harry Met Sally...’ or ‘Sleepless in Seattle’. To be honest, since I kept hearing only bad things about this flick, I really had some low expectations about it but, eventually, I was actually pleasantly surprised. I mean, obviously, it was nothing really amazing but I thought it was still a rather well made romantic comedy. Furthermore, I really enjoyed the way the relationships between the sisters and the mother were set and I thought that the 3 actresses involved (Meg Ryan, Diane Keaton and Lisa Kudrow) gave some good performances. On a side note (not really important but still…), it was probably one of the last movies in which Meg Ryan still looked quite charming. To conclude, even though it is a rather predictable and unoriginal rom-com, it was still not bad at all and I think it is actually worth a look, especially if you like this genre.
