Maggie's Plan



Jean, This is a romantic comedy starring Greta Gerwig as Maggie. It begins where she  has come to the point in her life where she is looking for a sperm donor. The romance that develops is more plot driven and the comedy is more smiles than laughs.You know what you are getting with Greta in her special way of hitting her marks and saying her lines so directly and charmingly.The others who get drawn into her plan are Ethan Hawke, Bill Hader, Maya Rudolph and Julianne Moore. It is like you are listening into the lives of 4 or 5 people who are interesting, intelligent and entertainingly flawed. It reminded me of the 2011 movie "Your Sister's Sister". Like that film,  it also has a "punch line scene" at the very end.  Jim
