Dove Review

I didn’t have high expectations for this one, but I did expect Home Again to to be a fun, light and easy story. And it’s well-staged. Every scene was like turning the pages of a Sunset magazine, all the way down to the place settings. Every character is perfectly pretty—and likable. But that’s the problem; we literally feel nothing. Even the characters who were supposed to be unlikeable came off as flat and benign. Unfortunately, Home Again turns out to be nothing more than a ho-hum waste of great talent. Ridiculous sexual encounters, foolish situations and scene-after-scene of shallow dialogue ruin any chance of an emotional connection. I was grateful for Candace Bergen and a couple adorable kids (Lola Flannery and Eden Grace Redfield) who were the only people with something interesting to say, though not enough to save the show.

In a season where we need some good PG and PG-13 movies, Home Again is an unfortunate example of Hollywood (and Los Angeles) in love with itself.
