So lets think about this for a minute. George Clooney apparently agreed to make another buddy movie, this time with Julia Roberts. So before one word is put to paper you already know that you have two of the best actors and biggest starts of the last thirty years. So you add in a part where they got divorced long ago and hate each other but they have to suck it up for their daughter. Even if the writers did nothing else you should have the framework of a decent movie. And ultimately, that’s all that this movie is. For all intents and purposes the director rolled the balls out and let Clooney and Roberts be Clooney and Roberts. If you take them out of this movie you’d got a Saturday afternoon Lifetime movie. Because of Clooney and Roberts the movie is just “fine”. The credits are the best part of the movie – that should tell you something.
At what point does Clooney go looking for decent material? For very Michael Clayton or Descendants we get movies like this or Ocean’s 13. Couldn’t he mix in some decenter material now and then? I am a huge fan of his but most of his movies leave a lot to be desired.
