I don't know why I didn't like this more than I did
It seems like this should have been a great film, it was only good. Meryl,it's true can do no wrong. Uma did excellent work, as did Bryan. Some of the writing was excellent, particularly regarding the issues of age, clashing cultures, etc. Meryl played a Jewish therapist and mother; it could have been stereotypical, but in her capable hands it wasn't. But, there were sitcom elements such as a nebbishy best friend to the leading man, someone who is more involved with throwing custard pies than he is in exploring his failed relationships. The pies in the face routines were an off note in this often-thoughtful film.
