Sally Field plays a quirky woman who’s been hoarding in her own world for years. Her attitude changes after her mother dies and she falls for the hot new (much younger) man at work (Max Greenfield). This is really a vehicle for Field, who is sweet and funny in her wonderful, wacky ensembles of vintage clothes. There’s lots to like in her character’s spunky attitude and enthusiasm for life. Being embraced by a hip New York crowd may be pushing reality, but she manages to pull it off. Greenfield is charming and the supporting cast adds some spice. Even though it sometimes tries a bit too hard to be eccentric and clever, the pace is lively and the writing is humorous. Still, it’s Field’s engaging performance that makes the film so appealing.
