Home Again

This is an American romantic comedy about the fact that even in your forties it is possible to fall in love and have a nice romance, and to accommodate three young men who have a dream and go after it. The entire thing is so unrealistic that I just didn't like it very much, not to mention that the comedy was lost and the film is just there to not hurt anyone. (2018-02-28)

This is one of those really weak romcoms. The idea is nice, but the execution is full of stupid clips about nothing. The only decent actor here is Reese Witherspoon, while Michael Sheen could have helped the film considerably if given more space, and unfortunately, the others only function as amateurs.

When Reese Witherspoon was younger, I avoided movies with her because she got on my nerves for some reason. Lately, I enjoy pretty much everything she's in (I feel the same way about Jennifer Aniston). I enjoyed mainly the first half of the film, then the humor surrendered to romance and the ending struck me as downright naïve. I wasn’t exactly thrilled, but it wasn't a disaster either.

Reese, Reese, I love you, but you shouldn’t have gotten tangled with the young and hopeful. It didn’t do you any good and now your acting portfolio has an overwhelmingly mediocre entry. This was good for nothing other than to fall asleep to while listening to the soothing sound of raindrops falling onto a red-hot summer highway. (2018-08-31)

SPOILER! After Reese irritated me incredibly in Legally Blonde, I watched her in her typical role in a romantic comedy. For the first ten minutes, I complained that I was watching Americans dealing with total nonsense in the most terrible way again. Fortunately, it was just a necessary introduction, and then it was quite good. And most importantly, I liked that at the end there was no awkward long applause, kissing, hugging, but the viewer has to answer the crucial question posed by the title of the movie in Czech on their own.
