And So It Goes

This review may contain spoilers!

This film was awkward, clumsy and a thoroughly degrading comedy to watch. I am going to give And So It Goes a 3.5/10.

And So It Goes had good pacing, the story did move at a good speed at the very least.

Sterling Jerins, who played Sarah, was one of my favourite things about this entire film; she had so much energy and I think considering the amount of good films that this kid has been apart of that she is most definitely on the rise. Michael Douglas, who played Oren Little, gave a sporadic performance; while for the most part he carried the film he also failed to prevent the terrible display of poor delivery when it came to some of the poorly written scenes this film was plagued by.

It was Frances Sternhagen, who played Claire, that really stole the show in this film. I feel like her performance was the most constant, she was always this wise sassy woman that was really interesting as a character. She brought every scene that she was in up and for that I sincerely applaud her.

This film was plagued by standard cinematography and editing, it did not dare to be adventurous. The music within this film was also terrible, and quite ironically like karaoke night at a retirement home. The story itself wasn't really funny nor moving, both things that it strived to be. I'm forever going to be haunted by awkward intimacy, unexplored relationships and dull sub plots.

Diane Keaton, who played Leah, gave one of the most stilted performances that I have ever seen and proves to us all that you can lose talent with age; also her singing was like listening to a cat that had just been stepped on. Scott Shepherd, who played Luke, was awkward and unconvincing in his role as a father and son, he also had very little screen presence.
