I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Wonderful character development!

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This movie is a study in awful! Just awful!The story unfolds like you are pulling teeth! Diane Keaton is just plain weird here and Kevin Kline looks lost and confused throughout.Story - Beth finds a dog along a snow covered freeway. Risk her life to get dog. Dog becomes pet. One year later daughter married veterinarian that doctored frozen dog. Dog runs away (that should have been a hint to viewers). All that happens in first 20 minutes of movie! Now you have 83 more minutes to watch a bunch of actors run around in woods looking for dog - it rains, it's cold, they are stupid.If there is an example of 'actors doing it for the money' this is it! Good luck watching .... this movie is bad medicine.

You have to have a heart for animals to be able to watch this and really enjoy it. There is some eye candy for male viewers (though her story line tries to go beyond that and the actress carries that weight effortlessly), but it's Diane Keaton, the Dog and Kevin Kline (in that order), that really hold the movie together.Substories and romantic interludes, marriage problems, but also the absurd (superstituous) are being handled decently. It still might feel a bit too much for some viewers though. Kline just about holds his own in a very slim outlined character outlet, that he has to work with. Clichés abound and an ending that is so over the top (literally), that you'll probably cry (for better or worse).

I'm going to rate this film higher than most are. I think it's a pretty decent LITTLE film that appeals to a limited audience. Who's in that audience...well, frankly, us older folks. Oh, don't get me wrong. This is not a great film. But it's a decent LITTLE film about mature relationships and marriages and what makes them tick. And by the way, several sites list this as a comedy. It is a drama, not a comedy.One of the highlights of the film is the scenery and photography. Autumn in southwestern Colorado! But, of course, we're not watching it for those reasons. That's just a bonus.Girl meets dog. Boy loses dog. Marriage in a shambles. That's the crux of the story.It's the performances that make the difference. And these are not great performances. But they're kinda real. I'm more sympathetic to the husband than most of our reviewers. He's a surgeon, and I'm getting ready to have surgery in about 10 days. I want my surgeon to be thinking exclusively of me that morning...not worrying about a lost dog. Now that's not to say that the doctor has been a great husband; clearly he takes his marriage for granted. Kevin Kline does fine here, although this is certainly not his best role..by far.This is probably the most different role I've ever seen Diane Keaton in...as the wife of the surgeon...struggling in a somewhat lifeless marriage who rediscovers her love in a rather odd set of circumstances...partially lost in the rain in the woods and resetting her husband's dislocated shoulder.Richard Jenkins is a much underrated actor, probably because he's far from handsome and thus, not the movie-star type. But he fairly consistently turns in fine performances, and while this is not a "great" role, he subtly fine tunes his performance.The rest of the performances are fine, but not notable. Even Diane Weist, who is usually so good, just sort of gets by here in a part that relegates her to a comparatively minor role. The Israeli actress Ayelet Zurer has a somewhat interesting role as a modern-day gypsy.You're not going to walk away from this film saying how great it was. But I think you may enjoy a quiet little movie with some realism in it.

Finally a movie about the lives of older folks in which the young take second place. Remember Diane Keaton in Looking for Mr good Bar and Sleeper? Well now she's a lot more mature and wears glasses.Kevin Kline,remember him in Big chill?Now a lot more mature as well.Diane Wiest. She's changed too. Diane plays beth,who just bi her grown daughter and her grand son baby, at the airport, Elisabeth Moss ,plays Keaton's second daughter Grace,who drove her to the airport.Keaton character is worried that her second daughter has not found Mr right had gotten married.While Beth's husband ,played by Kevin Kline is so busy as a spine surgeon,she complaints that he has no time for he.Diane Wiest plays Penny her sister, who just got married to Russell ,played by Richard Jenkins,But her son ,who's a surgeon, played by once again ,Mark Doublass,Doublass? ,of the Other sisters sisters ,fame, is worried that her husband isn't working and she's still supporting him and Russel wants her to invest in a English pub ,in the mid west for him to open up.Well Diane ,as she's coming home from air port,I think, finds a injured sick dog,which she rehabilitates and names him Freeway.This dog, that now she take care of start to improved the families life.Grace meets veterinarian Sam,an India decent American,played by Jay Ali.They both fall in love with the aid of the dog.So as the whole family are at a cabin to celebrate the wedding,after the wedding Freeway gets lost and Beth can't leave until they can find the dog,Penny and her husbands maid Carmen ,a Gypsy,played Ayelet Zurer by uses what little psychic ability to help them find the dog.This is when the problem happen,in searching for the dog.Bryan and Carmen get to know each other better.Diane and Kevin get lost in the woods looking for the dog but they kindle their love for each. Lindsey Sloan plays one of the citizens who helps Kevin and Jenkins to find Freeway.Robert Bear plays Possum ,who a rude resident that chases both Jenkinds and Kevin out of his property. Very older Sam Shepherd,plays the kind fun loving Sheriff Morris,with kidney stone problem .A some time funny very sentimental movie.I saw this at Starz on demand.02/25/13
