A decent,nice,fluffy romantic comedy.
Can a movie have a second life on another platform outside of the box office? I believe it can.
AND SO IT GOES, starring Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton is such a movie. It's out on home video and is streaming on Netflix. It was originally released in theaters last July and met a horrible box office death among all the summer blockbusters that were out at the time. A nice little romantic movie such as this is all wrong for summer, in my opinion.
I hate to use the word cute, but that's exactly what this film is. Nothing more. Nothing less. It's directed by film veteran Rob Riener (WHEN HARRY MET SALLY and A FEW GOOD MEN) and wriiten by Mark Andrus (AS GOOD AS IT GETS) and they bring their film pedigree to this light and fluffy romantic comedy. There's nothing wrong with light and fluffy.
Michael Douglas is the movie. He plays a mean widower who is at the end of his real estate career and his forced by his estranged son to take care of his 10 year old daughter while he goes off to prison. Douglas is trying to sell his multi-million dollar home and lives in an apartment complex right next to a widow, played by Diane Keaton. How convenient. What ensues is a predictable and likable paint by numbers romantic comedy that is fueled by Douglas's performance.
I recommend AND SO IT GOES if you're in the mood for a decent romantic film. That sums it up-decent. It's nothing that's cutting edge and will transform the romantic comedy/drama genre. It's just a decent, nice fluffy romantic comdey that you can pass 90 plus minutes of your time away.
I give AND SO IT GOES a B-.
