HOME ALONE , an Entertainment One release
Starting over can be vexing to many . So when a mature single mom relocates to sunny Los Angles the climate is anything but sedate . Stormy weather is the forecast in Home Again . Good timing for the new school year sees this pixie little gem from EOne Entertainment take hold at most likely the International Village Cinemas .
Likeable Reese Witherspoon ( Legally Blonde ) is definitely in her element in This whimsical quaint and charming soft-hearted comedy . Busy trying to cope and fit in the aspiring designer does her best to settle into a new home while raising two rather impressionable young daughters . Little does the PTA mother know that not before long three dashing , well not so dashing young men will enter her life .
Judgments can get clouded over when new potential romantic partners arrive on the scene . So when these aspiring filmmakers make inroads in the much older woman ’ s life all bets are off and the warm humour kicks in
Maybe Home Again is somewhat of a guilty please . Made by and for women this 97 minute flick explores the anxiety and loneliness of being alone and the pitfalls of dating much younger partners . Add into the mix Michael Sheen as a trendy music producer and you have a mild romance that is not jolting yet watchable . Even a sedate Candace Bergen offers her talents convincingly as an experienced though not necessarily wiser family elder with her heart in the right place .
For The Record . With possible exception of apes and monkeys , the pig bears closer physiological similarity to humans than any other mammal . Its digestive organs , teeth , blood and skin strikingly akin to their human counterparts . The pi , in fact , is the only animal , other than man capable of getting sunburned . Because of this , physiological compatibility , pigskin is used a s component in artificial heart valves and as soothing natural covering for severe burns . One or more common characteristic : the pig is the only animal other than man that will willingly drink enough alcohol to be classified as an alcoholic .
Ooops ! A guinea pig is not a pig . It`s actually a rodent - a small , fate member of the rat family , with short ears and external tail , used in biological experiments . And it`s not from Guinea - it originated in South America .
WORD WATCH Gustatory ( gus`ta tor`ee ): having to do with tasting or the sense of taste .
