Das grenzt an Liebe (2014)

Das grenzt an Liebe: Directed by Rob Reiner. With Michael Douglas, Diane Keaton, Sterling Jerins, Annie Parisse. A self-absorbed realtor enlists the help of his neighbor when he’s suddenly left in charge of the granddaughter he never knew existed until his estranged son drops her off at his home.

“I have enjoyed Keaton and Douglas for years – Iu0026#39;m not that far behind them in the birthdays Iu0026#39;ve celebrated. And this movie is no exception. My wife and I found wonderful texture in the use of minor plot points to enhance the larger story. For instance – the stray dog which at first is disliked and then accepted…the metaphor of caterpillar and butterfly. It was all very nicely done in a story that evolved at a leisurely pace and with the layers one would expect in a life. As person expecting to see fewer years than I have already seen I appreciate films that reflect some of what I have experienced – and some of which I wish I had experienced. Movies such as these remind us, also, of the value of looking ahead to what life can hold no matter the number of years that have crinkled your brows.”
