Overview
Following the death of her family dog, Emma finds herself at a crossroads where grief and release play together: a midlife awakening is now in full throttle, and those closest to Emma feel the impact, including her best friend Stan and her rambunctious daughter Maggie. To make matters more complicated and ripe for comedic mishaps, Emma's estranged ex-husband Andy returns to the city from Singapore down on his professional luck and aiming to rekindle things with his lost love.
There is a lot to like about this movie. Margaret Cho is a revelation, and it does a great job portraying several themes (grief, resentment, etc). My problem with this movie are the corny scenes where she is talking to her dead dog. Missi Pyle should have fired her agent when she saw the script for the awful scene where she had to pretend that not only does the dog understand complex human sentences, but it also lives on after death. I can’t remember the last time I experiences such a cringe-worthy scene.
