Goodrich
Andy Goodrich is about to get a wake up call that will take him on an emotional rollercoaster ride. Andy (Michael Keaton) is a 60-year-old art dealer, married to a much younger wife, Naomi, & has 9-year-old twins, Billie & Mose. Late one night, he gets a call from Naomi saying she has checked into rehab & is thinking about leaving him. Now he is faced with all of those parenting responsibilities his wife took care of, while he was so busy with work. As he struggles playing single dad, he calls up his 36-year-old daughter, Grace (Mila Kunis) from his first marriage for help. Andy is also stressed because of financial problems at his art gallery. This drama comedy deals with parenting issues, father/child bonds, & trying to multitask. Keaton & Kunis are outstanding & will bring you to tears & give you some laughs. Can Andy reinvent himself into being a better dad? Can he save his failing business? Can he patch things up with his older daughter? This is a funny bittersweet journey for a man trying to be a good dad & provider as well as trying to make amends for past failures.
Alien gives it 3 “Where is mom?” stars out of 4.
