Alex
and Ruth Carver have been married 40 years and they have lived all this time in
the same apartment. They decide
they are tired of climbing the five flights of stairs and maybe they need to
move to a place with an elevator.
They contact Ruth’s niece, she is in the real estate business and she
agrees to have an open house for perspective buyers. There are a lot of people coming to see the apartment and
they get several offers. It all
seems very high pressure. Ruth
decides they need to hunt for another apartment before they sell their
place. They find a nice apartment but
there is a lot of pressure with other offers too.
My
vote for the Best Actress Award in this film goes to Dorothy, the Carver’s
little dog!! She has a slipped
disc in her back and she needs expensive tests and surgery. She is very nervous in her little crate
at the vet clinic after her surgery and she hasn’t walked yet. Dorothy extends her small paw with a
bandage to Ruth when she comes to visit.
Diane Keaton walking through Manhattan reminded me of Annie Hall. 3* (This movie is OK)
92
