Sarah a accepté la demande en mariage de son compagnon, mais est terrifiée à l'idée de passer à l'acte. Pour comble de malheur, sa soeur Annie s'apprête à convoler avec un tennisman, obligeant du même coup Sarah à passer un week-end dans ce faubourg ultra-chic de Pasadena qu'elle déteste... et à affronter une famille dont elle se considère comme le mouton noir. Seule consolation: revoir son alerte grand-mère Katharine, dont les rosseries, l'humour gaulois et les "conseils" tordus l'enchantent. Et cette année, Mamie a quelque chose à lui apprendre. La rumeur court en effet que Katharine et la défunte mère de Sarah auraient été les modèles de Mrs. Robinson et sa fille et rivale Elaine dans le roman et le film Le Lauréat. Du coup, Sarah commence à s'interroger sur sa propre identité... (texte officiel du distributeur)

I'm not very wise to the moral lesson of the film. A decently cast, otherwise mediocre Aniston film peppered with a hogwash line of grandmother, mother and daughter.

The film "The Graduate" is a classic, as well as the novel on which the film was based. Beau Burroughs is the man the novel should have been written about. He first had an affair with a woman in her forties, and then immediately slept with her daughter. But the story doesn't end there. We fast forward about thirty years and discover that in the next generation of women, there is another girl who wants to find out if Beau Burroughs might be her father. The comedy with Jennifer Aniston is not actually about the search for a father, because that is quickly resolved, but about finding out what one's place is in the town where she wants to be. The film actually says that if you're not sure if your upcoming wedding is with the right person, sleep with the man who slept with your grandmother and mother, it will solve a lot. Your fiancé will forgive you everything, after all, Beau Burroughs is still Kevin Costner and Mark Ruffalo is once again a flush. It's not about relationships at all, but only about one woman who is unsure, has a little fun, and everything is forgotten. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. But according to this definition, Vegas is her whole life. She can make whatever bad decisions she wants, but in the end, everything is forgiven because she's a beautiful Hollywood woman. The man is waiting for her, causing a little trouble, but in the end, he falls into her arms anyway. Not even a few good jokes, an excellent but overly caricatured Shirley MacLaine, or charismatic Kevin Costner can save it. Jennifer Aniston comfortably fits into her usual confines with this film and plays as much as a hockey player on the bench with a skate sharpener in hand. She's wearing a jersey, pads, everything, but still doesn't score. There's no aim towards the goal. I'm not saying that a comedy has to uphold certain values, but I have a feeling that this film does it in a very strange way.
