Rob Reiner's 'And So It Goes' Is A Safe Bet At The Cinema This Weekend

Fresh from the critical and box office success of Behind The Candelabra, for which he made off with a haul of awards for his portrayal of Liberace, Michael Douglas returns in a new romantic comedy And So It Goes.

Initial reviews have been mixed and point out that And So It Goes is clearly aiming for older audiences, those who perhaps do not visit cinemas more than once every couple of years. Some critics have been won over by the film’s fundamental warmth, though others have attacked it for clumsiness and over-predictability. The Hollywood Reporter says it “starts off clumsily but grows more engaging as it continues”, while Variety is a lot less kind, stating that “you never feel anything significant is at stake for anyone – save for a paycheck”.

Ouch. But if anybody can turn a seemingly predictable script into box office gold, then a Reiner / Douglas team stand the best chance.
