    Aunt May + Diane Keaton, sisterhood, delicate and tender, and the story is not strong. De Niro's role is not much soy sauce. Xiao Lizi, a rebellious teenager who was abused by his biological father when he was a child, has natural acting skills, and he does not show timidity even when playing with Aunt Mei. The glasses house brother is very cute. Aunt May is really good at this delicate and simple role.

    The neurotic mother and son poked me into a laugh. These two goods are so funny. Not much to say. All big names. But I feel that Meryl is the best acting. What a real sister was performed. Of course, the script is weak. Scattered, a little east and a little west. The last film still touched the strong and caring teacher in my heart. In this film, I became such a rebellious sister. great.
