'HOME AGAIN'.......DRESSING UP IN MOMMY'S GROWN UP CLOTHES.....

Home Again (2017)    Watching this movie, written and directed by Hallie Myers-Shyer, is the equivalent of watching Jared Kushner bring peace to the Middle East........

              Ridiculous way-out-of-their-depth tasks taken on by people awarded their positions only be sheer nepotism.....

              Kushner will most likely end up watching news of Middle East wars from his jail cell....

              Myers-Shyer, on the other hand, has a whole 97 minute movie to show for her efforts.......a toddler's imitation of the Ultra-Rich-White-People rom-coms made by her parents, Nancy Myers and Charles Shyer.....("Parent Trap", "Baby Boom" "Father Of The Bride I & II", "It's Complicated", "The Intern"....on and on, ad nauseum....)

              This movie is really nothing more than a little girl staggering around in her mother's high heels......pretending to make one of Mommy's big-girl movies.

              Cute and funny for about 8 seconds........then time to movie on.

             The writer-director creates a sloppy finger-paint version of her parents' movies......suitable for magnet-pinning on her mom and dad's refrigerators........and nowhere else.

              Once again, it's all designed to make the rest of us proles drool with envy at the romantic foibles of some privileged cutie who lives like a Princess in a multi-million dollar house.........(you know, the folk for whom Trump's tax breaks will last forever, as opposed to the rest of us....)

              No doubt, Myers-Shyer thought she Teflon'd her movie by casting America's 'what-'s-not-to-love' Sweetheart, Reese Witherspoon in the lead role.

              And your heart does go out to Reese, but for all the wrong reasons.  We root for her as she grimaces like an Olympic weightlifter to make something out of the trainwreck of a script, every moment of which rings hollow and false.

              We'd detail this storyline only at gunpoint......something about Reese letting three fledgling filmmakers stay at her pool house.......(one of whom she's boinking, touching off an avalanche of unfunny age difference jokes....). Please.....for the love of God.....don't make us go on any further....

             We'll now cease wasting precious minutes of our life discussing this movie......Zero stars (0).......perhaps some practical use could be made of "Home Again".......parachuting multiple DVD copies into the remaining ISIS strongholds.......just to piss them off......
