A Feel Good, Light Weight Romance, Family Comedy
8 January 2019
23 November 2017. The light-weight family comedy involves a newly married marriage counselor who finds herself attempting to fix her parents' impending divorce. This feel good movie succeeds on the entertainment level though it's fluffy presentation in the vein of What About Bob? (1991) or Anger Management (2003) or even the more similar Prime (2005), sort of reduces the qualitative polish of the movie by not taking much risk in its depiction of serious counseling nor hard-edge drama. Of interest is Julia Roberts' brief presence as a counselor's voice only and the Buffy The Vampire Slayer television series (1997-2003) a real life couple as a couple as a cameo in this movie, Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof. While not directly relatable, other family comedy, drama that might have more of a memorable impact include Cameron Diaz In Her Shoes (2005), Uptown Girls (2003), My Best Friend's Wedding (1997), Georgia Rule (2007) or The Women (2008).
