Goodrich 2024
This movie looked interesting and I was able to get a free ticket. Michael Keaton plays an art gallery owner whose life is all of the sudden in turmoil. It is mostly about him, but also involves his kids by two different marriages: two who are 9 and one who is 30 and pregnant. Mila Kunis is very good as the grown daughter who resents that her father was mostly absent and/or working during her childhood. It is a decent enough character study as Keaton suddenly has to take care of the little kids (not the same as Mr. Mom) and deals with other issues. It is a little slow maybe, as character studies are, and maybe not that remarkable, but it is hard not to like Keaton and therefore this guy he is playing who is really trying. I feel like the movie went south in the last third as they went for a big, sappy finish and it felt a little off.
