Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

edwagreen Blythe Danner belts out Cry Me A River at Karaoke in this film that there was talk would bring her an Oscar nomination. Where did that all go?As a woman bogged down in her life with the memory of a husband killed in a plane crash 20 years before, a dog that she just put to sleep and a bunch of wily friends living near her at a senior center, Danner seems to be plodding along as life is passing her by.Despite her resistance to resuming a social life after all these years, the retired teacher soon finds herself enthralled with a wealthy Sam Elliot who suddenly comes into her life, as well as a young man who cleans her pool.The film shows that resuming one's life is possible at any time; although, you had better look out for what can happen.Nice seeing Rhea Perlman as one of the ladies. When she asked for a beer, I was immediately brought back to television's Cheers.

zif ofoz There's really not much to be said about this little movie because it's just fine. It looks like a TV movie with adequate acting by each person and a simple story that will maintain your attention start to finish.Director: Brett Haley and Writers: Marc Basch, Brett Haley have created a story of the main character Carol Petersen (Blythe Danner) living a settled and routine life in her elder years. Along comes a young man, Lloyd, that sees something in her he needs and that she can provide at that point in his life. Then along comes another man, Bill, who is closer to her age and she sees in him something she needs at that point in her life. What makes this story interesting is that exactly what these needs are is never really addressed. It's left up to the viewer to decide.Her friends encourage her and they discourage her. Carol must make her own decision about her life while dealing with a youthful man, an elderly man, and her friends making suggestions on what she should do.This flick is easy to follow and just might leave you guessing what Carol will do at stories end.

luke-a-mcgowan I'll See You in My Dreams is a sweetly unremarkable film about friendship and making the most out of life, serving mostly as a vehicle for its star Blythe Danner, who captures your heart in her opening scenes during which she says goodbye to her dog. From then on, Danner is endlessly likable and we as viewers want nothing more than for her to be happy. She displays grief with sincere authenticity and displays a real knack for singing as well.There's nothing remarkable about the rest of the film. Danner is the lonely widow Carol gradually learns to open up to friendship with her pool cleaner Lloyd and a relationship with the unbelievably cool Bill (Sam Elliott, who rocks 71 like no actor can). Her relationship with Bill is a bit underdeveloped (he asks her out, they go out, its very simple and conventional) but Elliott and Danner have terrific chemistry to make it watchable. Unfortunately, Martin Starr is unable to convey much as Lloyd, a rather bland and boring character with an almost insultingly simple character arc. The film seems to want to create a "will they won't they" story for Lloyd and Carol, which is great for gender equality but not very conceivable as a plot point, but also seems to be trying to emphasise the necessity of friendship. Well, Carol doesn't need him - she's got three much more fun friends in the form of June Squibb, Rhea Perlman and Mary Kay Place. The four old women are absolutely delightful and Squibb especially is incredibly underused. A scene in which the four of them smoke weed is the most fun in the entire film. Also she has a daughter who pops up in two scenes. Don't ask much about her.Brett Haley doesn't do a lot with the direction of the film save for one very powerful shot in which Danner learns of Bill's deus ex machina death (he looked in prime health to me, but the story demands he die!) and we see Bill's fresh flowers still on her table while she weeps in the background. There's some metaphor about a rat that went over my head, and I found the film's ending to be a bit counter-productive. At the start of the film, the death of her dog gets her back out to have fun, but the end of the film sees her adopting another dog right after committing to a spontaneous trip to Iceland. Is it about spontaneity or staying at home with your dog? Make up your mind Haley.Watch the film for Danner, she's a gorgeous old lady who is fun to watch, and the film's pacing makes it a fairly accessible one, but there's not a lot of rewatch value in the film as a whole.

Mahmoud Jaradat Watching this movie sets you in a specific mode where you start wondering about your life, past, future and present. The performance of the actors was phenomenal, screenplay captivating. The directing was walking on a thin line with the story but successfully crossed the whole way to make a great movie. The soundtrack was amazing nicely added to the scenes you feel its natural and in place, the theme song was like the glue that puts everything together. I loved the rat idea, I loved the rhythm of the movie I loved everything about it , way to go guys and I wish for more of these nice movies.
