A good idea gone boring, this city mouse with hippie mom tale manages to make Catherine Keener unlikable. Riddle me this: when a successful New York City lawyer is left by her husband, wouldn't she find a hotel, sublet an apartment, stay at a friend's place or maybe, just maybe, stay in the apartment with her two teenage children? Why on earth would she traverse - with two nearly-grown kids in tow - to upstate New York, to stay with the mother she hasn't spoken to in two decades? And why, after foisting herself and her kids (whom their grandmother didn't know existed) onto the poor aging hippie, would said successful lawyer-turned-moocher then openly criticize the lifestyle and act agog when she sees a protest taking place? (Take it from anyone who lives in a major city: protests happen all the time. They aren't limited to Woodstock.)
