I think you see things in different ways as your own life experiences evolve. My wife and I found this movie to be heartwarming and believable even though it bears no resemblance to our own lives. None except for being parents of an adult daughter and our ability to emphasize with the What if? As in what if our marriage hadn’t worked and we tried to move on and one of us, The Father, lost touch with our daughter despite the fact that we really loved her?
I think the story was well written and acted with several unexpected turns. Despite the ups and downs they managed to arrive at a Hollywood Happy Ending which we love. Kristen was a work obsessed yuppie, not unlike her father and Kelsey was a silver greying senior who did a great job in his portrayal of The Father, who realizes the error of his ways but nonetheless wanted to make up for them.
