This time with Barrymore following the collaboration with "50 First Loves" ten years ago, the old partner really cooperated with each other, and the whole film was humorous and full of warmth. It is really a surprise work in 2014.
General American movies emphasize personal feelings on the topic of divorce, and rarely talk about responsibilities to the family. Two people often choose to separate because they don’t feel it. The negative consequences of divorce for the whole family are rarely mentioned. In fact, this is very irresponsible or even selfish behavior, because in the end it’s not what hurts the most. Parents are children.
In this film, Jim raised his three daughters alone because his wife died of cancer in his early years. Although he tried his best to care for the children, it was because it was difficult for the masters to provide the children with the motherly love and care. It is indeed quite equivalent for a person to earn money to support three children. It is not easy, so that the annual tent vacation is spent in the backyard of my own house.
As a conscientious mother, Lauren finally chose to divorce because of her husband's repeated derailments, but after all, because of the woman's character, she has been unable to show strong discipline to her two sons. The pressure of raising children alone often makes her unable to cope with it. Fortunately, the company and help of her good friend Jen gave her some comfort.
Although the first date between Jim and Lauren ended in an unpleasant way, because Jen and Jim's boss Dick (the name is too bad) were lovers, they met again in the African savannah by chance. The next step is the standard narrative process. Although the two did not share the sky at first, they found that their tastes and habits were similar. At the same time, they had feelings because of the excellent complementarity of each other in their respective lives. Finally, the male and female masters experienced small twists and turns. Finally came together happily for a reunion.
It is worth mentioning that Jim's little daughter is very brilliant, and many of the feelings that fathers are ashamed to express are directly passed on to Lauren through the mouth of little Lolita. Children are the most straightforward and truest in expressing their feelings. The true expressions of the youngest daughter have even become the wisdom words for awakening the heroes and heroines, which is really heartwarming.
Unhappy families are different, but happy families are always similar. Mothers provide women with special care and care for the family, and fathers become the authority of the children and the protection of the family through strength. Parents support each other and have a strong relationship. Children who grow up in such an environment will be healthy in terms of physical and psychological development.
Finally, I looked at the name of the director and found that the director of the film and the director of "Remote for Life" are the same person. The end of the film was crying and laughing, which moved the audience very much, but the film did not go the same way and made people smile. At the end, it was very comfortable.
The vast scenery of the African continent is too breathtaking, you must experience it yourself if you have the opportunity.
