This film could be pleasant enough if you completely turn your brain off while watching it and are just looking for something bland and undemanding but cozy to watch. The film feels completely contrived and artificial. None of the characters spoke or behaved like real people. The movie was trying way too hard to be charming and breezy but the characters are pretty fake and hollow and it's impossible to care about any of them. Reese Witherspoon, a fortyish recently single mom, comes home again to L.A. after her marriage fizzles. Luckily for her, she has her father's huge, gorgeous, perfect, empty, house just waiting for her! How convenient! If you are in the mood for something completely undemanding with pretty people flitting through attractive sets, this movie may be pleasant enough, but if you want something with any actual substance it may prove a disappointment.
