A good movie

Like many actors before and after her, Diane Keaton decided at some point to direct a movie and this flick was therefore her directing debut. It’s a really obscure feature which barely got noticed when it was released but I did see it back then in the movie theater, if I’m not mistaken. Eventually, even though it was nothing really amazing, I thought it was a nice subtle little drama. At the time, Andie MacDowell was one of the most popular actresses and she was charming as usual.  Another interesting aspect was to see Michael Richards who was in the middle of his run in ‘Seinfeld’ (one of my favorite TV shows) and I’m pretty sure it was the first of his movies I have seen (he didn’t make many movies in fact). Eventually, this movie was pretty good at showing some rather sweet and eccentric characters but it felt to deliver much else. Later on, Keaton would direct ‘Hanging up’ which was not as terrible as the reviews tried to make you believe but it was definitely a step down after this promising debut.  To conclude, even though it is a rather obscure feature, it is actually a decent whimsical drama and it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
