    • Trivia
      Jane Fonda's character in the movie attended the Woodstock Festival in 1969 while pregnant. Her water broke during Jimi Hendrix's rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner." Catherine Keener, who plays the daughter, was actually born in 1959 - 10 years before her character.

      [last lines]

      Jude: Hey, the men are doing all the heavy lifting. Seems a little sexist to me. How about you, Zoe?

      Zoe: It's not about equal division of labor. It's about an equitable and efficient allocation of resources.

      Grace, Diane: Right on!

    A harmless way to spend some time with some good actresses
    Three talented actresses (Jane Fonda, Catherine Keener and Elizabeth Olsen) provided the drive for this over-simplistic view of intergenerational differences and the search for happiness. While clichés abound, the plots twists can be seen miles away but yet occur in the blink-of-an-eye without any rationalization, and the characters border on being one- dimensional, this movie is a guilty pleasure. I would probably credit the ability to overcome this movie's weaknesses to the acting skills and the on-screen charisma of Ms. Fonda and Ms. Keener.

    The male characters are even more one-dimensional than the female leads. The only person to get less to do than the abandoning husband (Kyle MacLachlan) is the talented Patricia Arquette who may have only 1 or 2 lines in the movie which require a double take to confirm her presence. I suspect that post-production was not kind to whatever other dialog must have been originally written for her.

    While the movie has many weaknesses, the stellar soundtrack and magnificent cinematography are not among them.

    Clocking in at barely over 90 minutes, I would recommend this movie to those who do not mind a little fluff every now and then.
