Details

With a new iPhone, an apartment near the Grove, and a comfortable bank account left to her by her beloved late husband, Marnie Minervini has happily relocated from New Jersey to Los Angeles to be near her daughter Lori, a successful (but still single) screenwriter, and smother her with motherly love. But when the dozens of texts, unexpected visits, and conversations dominated by unsolicited advice force Lori to draw strict personal boundaries, Marnie finds ways to channel her eternal optimism and forceful generosity to change the lives of others - as well as her own - and find a new purpose in life.

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
yvettehabets It might just have been the right moment, the right mood in which I watched the movie. But I really enjoyed watching it and thought it was funny as well. Thought Marnie was a great character. Just a nice "house, garden and kitchen" (a.k.a every day life) movie, as we would say in Holland.
arunchedathara The experience can differ from person to person. But it is a nice film for sure. If you want to watch a movie and feel good about it, then this movie serve the purpose. It has no well defined story structure or closure.Simply we are traveling with an old widow, visiting people with her and try to see the world from her point of view.It was all about Susan Sarandon. The 69 year old actress is preforming with full energy. She is driving around , exploring iPhone usage and meeting people. She has her excuses for everything.If you can enjoy a nice acting performance no mater what the script is, then this is an enjoyable film. Also it becomes nicer if you can relate this character to someone from our real life.
Missoulamovies -spoiler alert-Nobody likes movies about people, just people, anymore. This movie is sweet, well written, and ends on a happy note. Quit trying to be wanna be movie critics and just enjoy a grown-up movie. And duh, no movie with J.K. Simmons in it is ever bad. Especially with the chickens. Go Griz.
pointzeropictures-1 I guess this was what they call a "chick-flick". Simply one of the most boring, going- nowhere-meandering, "what's this nonsense about?" movies of all time. Can I please have my 1 hour back I wasted on this so called movie? I'll never get it back... Gave up waiting for something interesting to happen after an hour of total boredom. A depressing movie with plenty of substance abuse, dysfunctional, and immoral relationships.How do these silly movies get made? What a total waste. Susan Sarandon is OK but she is actually in one giant annoying role.Stay away, plenty of other entertaining movies around...
