Darling Companion (2012)

This is a movie that has a lot of star power in it which got terrible reviews.  We, on the other hand, very much enjoyed it.  Maybe it is the time of life that we are in.  It centers on a middle aged couple (Diane Keaton and Kevin Kline) who have a daughter getting married, an empty nest, and a need to ready themselves for the next phase of their relationship.  He is a self-absorbed surgeon, and she has thrown herself into a relationship with a dog she found on the highway.
The tipping point is when the dog is lost while they are in the mountains, and the whole family who attended the wedding set about looking for the dog.  They discover that they like the sister's new boyfriend a lot more than at first impressions (he is played by the fabulous Richard Jenkins, so he was bound to grow on them).  They find that when they are helpless they are willing to be led by superstition, and best of all, they find a way to be closer to each other.  It is a nice week night movie.
