Love the Coopers
offers a lot of heart felt moments in an otherwise very unsatisfying film. The
incredible cast cannot save the movie from feeling like a bunch of clichés mashed
up to create an odd and somewhat pointless of a story.
Love the Coopers feels like it is moving sideways the entire time,
rather than moving forward with its story. That is the main problem of this
film; the story. It was dull, predictable, and cringe worthy at times. You can
see how
Love the Coopers is going to
end from the moment you meet every character. It is very unfortunate a talented
cast, lead by Diane Keaton and John Goodman, was wasted away trying to tell a
story, that quite frankly, has been told hundreds of times before a lot better. Even though the whole cast is talented, there were some characters that felt out of place and ultimately unneeded. It felt as if they were just there. But again, that is a problem that stems from screenplay/story telling.
Love the Coopers. While the story stinks worse than sour milk,
there are some redeeming moments in the movie that are relatable and make you
think about how holidays are always hectic when it comes to families.
The synopsis of the movie claims that 4 generations of the Cooper family come
together, but don’t get your hopes up, because they do not get together until
about the midway point of the movie. And by that time, you are bored and have
stopped caring for the characters and their cliché problems. Heart felt
moments, as I stated earlier, are the only saving grace of
Conclusion:
Love
the Coopers has a talented cast that cannot save the movie from being
predictable and boring. The movie is only 108 minutes but feels a lot longer
because nothing exciting ever happens to the Coopers. There aren’t many laughs,
but are plenty of times you will roll your eyes. The heart felt moments will
make you smile but it will then instantly be wiped away from the boredom of
having to continue to watch the movie. The movie is called Love the Cooper….but I don’t think many people will love this
movie.
SCORE: 3.5/10 - BAD
