Diane Keaton is on her adorably quirky A-game, but the tired script of this comedy fantasy lets her down.
Twenty-something Mack is an author turned social media writer/influencer. Though she looks young and hip, she’s truly an old soul, who dreams of living like her dear grandmother, swanning about in colorful caftans, not caring about what other people think. This desire for the caftan life is apparently a struggle for Mack, as she violently resists the youthful capers of her friends during a Palm Springs bachelorette party for her best friend Carla .
Posing as her “Aunt Rita” until the problem can be remedied, Mack slides back into her life with a few bumps along the way. She’s got a new groove as Rita, flirting with her next-door neighbor Jack , and becoming a surprise Instagram sensation. The story is ostensibly about how the privilege of age can help one learn to embrace their foibles and idiosyncrasies, but we’re never quite clear on specifically what those are for Mack.
