Home Again (2017)

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

... I just don't get it. What is Hollywood trying to say here? We have a rated PG-13 movie with little girls prominently featured, and we have Reese Witherspoon, everyone's wholesome go-to girl-next-door in a romcom where she lets three strange men move in and allows them to touch and be alone with her daughters in some horribly inappropriate manners. Then she has sex with one of those strange men while still married and her kids catch them. These are not good messages for 13-year olds, or for anyone at any age. There were script (stiff, awkward), production and acting problems too which wouldn't have been so noticeable if they had paid as much attention to the basics as they did on set design, which was way over the top too perfect in every scene. A lot of little things could have been easily remedied like the scene where she's putting a bandaid on her husband's head, in the box of bandaids, which is bright pink in an otherwise dull scene so you notice it right away, is a single, unwrapped bandaid and all she had to do was pull off the sticky covers. Why didn't they do that right, especially in such a close up scene?And why did you paint the father as such a dolt when he was right, it was entirely inappropriate for those men to be so close to them. You could have at least had him shave his neck so he wouldn't look so raunchy in his close ups, unless you did that deliberately, which didn't move the story but it did distract the audience. The only message I went away with, and I should have gone away much sooner, is that this 'anything goes now' mentality in the lives this film portrays is an embarrassment.

Just awful. So annoyed I've wasted nearly 2 hours of my life.

Looks like the perfect feel-good movie for mommy. There is everything mommy can possibly want. In the end, almost everybody is happy! Good enough for me too.

It's an okay movie. It seemed like a Hallmark Made for TV movie, not a Hollywood Blockbuster. I love Reese Witherspoon's movies, so this was a bit of a disappointment.
