Darling Companion

Between the gypsy psychic and the distracting characters, "Darling Companion" loses its way.

A listless excursion into the luxurious problems of rich, white people.

[It] has a fine cast, but doesn't seem to have much to say other than lamenting the unfairness of getting old.

It's far from a great movie - an overwritten, underplotted vanity project that's a distant echo of what director Lawrence Kasdan could do in his prime. But it has Diane Keaton, and that's enough.

Lawrence Kasdan's Darling Companion is one of those motion pictures I wish I liked more than I actually do.

It's fun to watch Keaton and Kline together, bickering and (of course) bonding all over again.

The simple truth is there's not much reason to see a film that is largely devoid of heart and completely devoid of the humor it so richly deserves.

But in the end, you don't have to be a tea-leaf reader to see Darling Companion's wrap-up from a mile away.

The classic comedy attempts simply don't work. [Full Review in Spanish]

This film is intelligent and beautifully acted. It's a movie about a group of people searching for a lost dog for days, and I never once looked at my watch.
