From the perspective of technical craft, nothing really seems out of place. None of it seems to help the frustratingly uninspired narrative, however, turning “And So It Goes” into a largely inoffensive but depressingly fruitless viewing experience.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jul 26, 2024

About as interesting as a Blue Plate Special when it could be, considering the talent involved, as richly textured as a fine, aged wine.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 1, 2021

And So It Goes is a tone deaf As Good As It Gets wannabe.

| Original Score: 1.0/4.0 | Sep 2, 2020

Keaton is earnest, sentimental, a little goofy. But the flibbertigibbet routine is getting tired. Meanwhile, Douglas chews the scenery as a modern-day Ebenezer Scrooge. The movie is bland at best, more often boring (and, at times, offensive).

| Original Score: 3/10 | Dec 3, 2017

Whatever the reason, And So It Goes will probably go out with a whimper instead of a bang. It's a quiet film that means well, but good intentions won't pave the way to box office heaven in this case.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 21, 2017

It's slightly wince-worthy that lesser talents are funnier than Rob Reiner these days. He needs to get the eye of the tiger back or hang up the gloves and throw in the towel.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jun 14, 2016

Dreadful.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | May 16, 2016

The pairing of Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton in a love story for grownups yields a dose of feel-good refreshment that merits the price of admission - especially for the age 50-plus crowd.

| Original Score: 3 of 5 | Apr 18, 2016

... has some modest charm but overall remains mired in obvious plotting and cheap sentimentality.

| Oct 31, 2014

Everything seems to work out so perfectly here that the film is less about life's rich rewards and more about light-hearted convenience.

| Original Score: B | Aug 29, 2014

...a pedestrian narrative that remains both predictable and uninvolving at virtually every turn...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 18, 2014

Hollywood seems to have belatedly realised where a lot of disposable income is located.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 16, 2014

When not saddled by the awkward narrative, Keaton and Douglas reveal a pleasing chemistry, though neither are doing anything new: Douglas growls while Keaton smiles, cries and sings.

| Aug 14, 2014

It's great to see another romantic comedy/drama pitched at older audiences (they're often overlooked) but And So It Goes fails to creates something that is both memorable and meaningful.

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 12, 2014

Douglas and Keaton do just as well with the romantic angle, mostly because he's so adept at dispelling any whiff of mawkishness. Oren's essential orneriness remains, no matter what, and the film turns out to be a lot of fun because of him.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 11, 2014

I was absolutely appalled at Michael Douglas' performance in this and I thought he was really so unconvincing but... I think this screenplay is so bad that it's hard for any of those actors to make anything out of it.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 8, 2014

Whatever happened to Rob Reiner?... [He] seems utterly disengaged as he ploddingly assembles a film whose potential is never realised.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 8, 2014

These legendary stars don't disappoint in their first screen teaming, and Reiner should have trusted them more to completely take over the film a lot more quickly than he does.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 3, 2014

The easy going charms of Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton blend beautifully in this discerningly funny rom-com with a pedigree

| Aug 2, 2014

Hilarity ensues. Or not.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 2, 2014
