Diane Hudson is a New
York Attorney with two teens, Zoe and Jake. She’s married to Mark Hudson and he has just surprised her
by asking for a divorce? She tells
Mark that she’s taking Zoe and Jake to spend a week with her mother
in Woodstock. Diane has been
estranged from Grace because she grows and sells marijuana.
This film is always
trying too hard and missing the mark.
Everything that is supposed to be ‘hip’ is thrown into the mix until you
can’t take one more thing!! The result
is one mess after another until you are glad to see the end!! A waste of good actors. 1 ½* (I really didn’t like this movie)
96
min, Comedy directed by Bruce Beresford with Jane Fonda, Catherine Keener,
Elizabeth Olsen, Joseph Dunn, Ann Osmond, Teri Gibson, Robert Bowen Jr., Nat
Wolff, Joyce Van Patten, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Kyle MacLachlan.
Note: Imdb 5.9 out of 10, 30% critic

Special
Note: Grace explains in the film
that her daughter was born at the Woodstock Festival in 1969. The birth was during a Jimi Hendrix
rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner.
Catherine Keener is playing Grace’s daughter and she was born in 1959,
ten years before her character’s birth?
The real Woodstock festival was going to be held in Woodstock but it was
actually held in Bethel New York.
Bethel is over 50 miles from the town of Woodstock.
