Here Keaton reprises the role of the slightly kooky, klutzy, and lovable gal next door in this toasty crumpet of a film, set around London's scenic Hampstead Heath.

More often, though, Hopkins and writer Robert Festinger pile up the commonplaces hoping they'll result in actual characters.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 14, 2019

The quasi-credible friendship that develops between Emily and Harry gives way to a less plausible romance. But the winning, sympathetic Keaton and an enjoyably puckish Gleeson largely sell the contrived setup.

| Jun 13, 2019

It's a pleasant rattle of a film that makes fine use of its likable leads - Keaton's oddly regal klutziness matches well against Gleeson's gruff moral rectitude - and an appealing setting.

Eccentricity triumphs in the end, leaving Annie's ghost fluttering happily evermore.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 16, 2017

Just look at that lovely still of [Keaton and Gleeson] sitting idyllically on Hampstead Heath. Now wave it in front of your eyes for an hour or two. That experience will be richer than anything in Joel Hopkins's underpowered screen filler.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 29, 2017

Keaton and Gleeson are sweet together (I like the sweaty, studenty-vibe they create in Emma's attic). It's also nice to see London's housing crisis being discussed.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 26, 2017

This ghastly faux-mance pays lip service to the housing crisis but has as much genuine empathy as someone whose main concern about rising rents is whether it might push up the price of nannies.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 25, 2017

More proof that Richard Curtis's style of comedy-drama is very difficult to imitate.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 23, 2017

A wildly simplistic "autumnal romance."

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 22, 2017

Gleeson is a fine actor in most circumstances, but here the material is so thin he's given nothing to work with, or against, as there are no decent jokes, and there's almost no drama.

| Jun 22, 2017

100 minutes of flimsy whimsy, calling on Keaton ... to dispense her clucking, ditsy bewilderment, school of Annie Hall, while Gleeson does bluff and crotchety charm, school of Brendan Gleeson.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 22, 2017

The drawback here is the utter lack of pungency. This film doesn't smell real at all.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 21, 2017

Don't come looking for social realism. This is an unapologetically fluffy film.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 19, 2017

Keaton's terrific, and it's sweet and airy and so unhurried you really feel like you've had a nice afternoon in the long grasses and cool breezes on the edge of the city. You wouldn't want to live there, though.

This slight, modestly sweet and mildly charming affair squarely aimed at the older cinemagoer is just the bill for those seniors' matinées where the ticket comes with a cuppa and a biscuit.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 15, 2017

We're just supposed to accept that Diane Keaton - Diane Keaton! - would happily settle for a man she literally finds in a bush.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 15, 2017

These yin and yang performers complement each other nicely, like tangy rhubarb and sweet, thick custard. It's just a shame that the vehicle which has brought them together is so insipid.

| Jun 15, 2017

Diane Keaton and Brendan Gleeson aren't an obvious match; despite their combined lovability, this slender romcom doesn't prove otherwise.

| Jun 14, 2017

Watching it is akin to witnessing Maggie Smith's The Van slowly rear-end Richard Curtis's Notting Hill: a cringing slow-mo car crash best viewed between your hands.
