grinding first half
24 December 2023
Rebecca Lott (Elizabeth Perkins) is struggling after her husband's accidental death. Sylvie Morrow (Whoopi Goldberg) is her best friend. Lucy Trager (Gwyneth Paltrow) is her younger sister. Thomas Trager (Josef Sommer) is their father. Alberta Russell (Kathleen Turner) is her harden stepmother. Then there is the Painter (Jon Bon Jovi).

It's sincere. It's earnest. I think that it's trying to be funny. It's a lot of talking around the subject matter. It's a bit tiring. I feel like I'm working through a death in the family. This is a grind for an hour. I remember when it first came out and Jon Bon Jovi is the reason to see this. I kept waiting for whatever is going to happen. Bon Jovi comes in at around 40 minutes and walks through the door at about an hour. I guess that's interesting maybe. At least, it gives it a little bit of energy in the second half, but it's not enough to save the movie.
