If you can get past the scenes with Hazel the Labrador, chances are you'd quite enjoy this movie, if it's what you're expecting, it's a kind of coming of age (mature that is) film. What was the rat called 'Guinevere?'
Carol, a widow, loses her dog, realises that life can take some unexpected turns, she tries speed dating, strikes up a friendship with her pool maintenance man Lloyd and begins pursuing a new romance with the charismatic and rather forward Bill.
I truly like Blythe Danner, she's a fine actress, once again she is so likable, in this she's funny, warm and sincere. I loved her in the Speed dating scenes. Well supported by a great cast, Sam Elliot is really fun, he's so good, as is Martin Starr.
There is actually some lovely humour too, her friends are great, the smoking scene was fun.
It's a bit sombre in parts granted, but ultimately worth watching, beautifully acted and often touching. 7/10
