Reese Witherspoon is a recently separated, 40-something mom of two girls who moved them back from NY to her California, childhood home. Oh, and her father was also a famous filmmaker back in his day. Overlay this with a trio of young, aspiring filmmakers with presumed talent but no real plans or sense for how to get things going in Hollywood. This felt like the old Reese's commercial where an inadvertent collision between chocolate carrying person and a Peanut Butter carrying person results in a "you got your chocolate in my peanut butter" goodness. The overlay of Witherspoon with the 3 handsome young men is just as much a staged "inadvertent" collision, and yet I didn't care because it worked. 100% predictable (it starts, travels, and ends exactly like you would expect), but the chemistry is good, the kids are cute, and everybody feels good in the end.
3 stars (out of 5)
