Description

Jennifer Aniston plays Sarah Huttinger a woman who feels ill every time her fiancé (Mark Ruffalo) mentions marriage. En route to attending her younger sisters wedding panic sets in as her feelings of being an outsider to her family return. Sarah feels she has nothing in common with her sister or father and as her mother died when she was younger she feels no connection to her family whatsoever. She's sure there's a bigger and more exciting life out there for her.....she just hasn't found it yet. Then her grandmother (Shirley MacLaine) mentions that her mother disappeared for a week beforemore… she got married and Sarah embarks on a quest to find out if her mothers last fling is the reason she's nothing in common with her family. En route she discovers that the famous book and movie, The Graduate, was in fact written about her family!

To be honest I expected more from this movie. The story itself was pretty good but I felt it was rushed and some scenes were pointless......for instance the part where Sarah ends up with Jeff's phone and its made out to be a big deal......nothing comes of it so what was the point?!? I also found the inconsistencies in the film annoying. When Sarah is having a heart-to-heart with her sister in her bedroom her hair alternates between being behind her ear in one shot, loose in the next, flicked over one shoulder and in the next shot flicked over the other. They were blatant boo-boos and I can never understand when movies are released with such obvious whoppers in them.

Jennifer Aniston and Shirley MacLaine are the obvious stars and the quick wit of Shirley MacLaine is what kept me watching. Kevin Costner's part in this movie was pretty anonymous and not one of his best performances. Stood in his white tux he reminded me of his part in the Bodyguard all those many years ago.

All in all it was an enjoyable film but not one I'd rush out to watch a second time or one I'd necessarily recommend to others as a `must see'. Without Jennifer Aniston and Shirley MacLaines chemistry and comic performances I would have given this movie no stars (if that was possible). Purely for them I give it 3.
