I paid $4.33 for Home Again and it was worth
every penny. I just wanted a movie at this time (2 ish) that was not too
long ( 96 minutes) and that required NO thinking whatsoever. Home Again
completed the mission as a total fluff piece. Thank you Reese Witherspoon
for delivering a worthy performance that only required looking adorable. Her
big blue eyes never looked bluer or bigger. Her smile was never more radiant.
And she pulled off that cute wrinkle the nose look. As for the young men
in the movie – oh so cute. Generically good looking, okay acting, and yes, total
fluff puppy dog eyes. The girls playing Reese’s daughters were equally way too
adorable. Michael Sheen is fine as the on-the-outs artsy husband. Candice
Bergen (good to see her) is Reese’s mother.
This is a Nancy Meyers production and the writer/director is
her daughter Hallie Meyers-Shyer. That says enough. Absolutely fabulous LA home
setting with a kitchen to die for, and of course the pool, guest house, etc are
decorated to perfection.
Shall I discuss plot? Nah. Why muddy the waters? I didn’t go
to think. I went for fluff, light drama, humor, cuteness, and a happy tidy
ending. BAM!!! Totally nailed it.
