Goodrich (2024)


Andy Goodrich is an art dealer with a failing gallery who is hardly involved with his family and is coming apart at the seams. He receives news that his wife has entered rehab and left their 9-year-old twins in his care. His 36-year-old daughter from his first marriage also resents him for their strained relationship, so he clearly lacks the proper parenting skills. This forces him to reassess his priorities and attempt to right the wrongs of the past, et cetera. It's a light comedy that feels very predictable in its execution (and was accomplished to much better effect 40 years ago in Mr. Mom), but a charming performance from Michael Keaton manages to elevate it to watchable.
