Synopsis

In Rebecca Miller's witty modern romantic comedy 'Maggie's Plan', Maggie Hardin (Greta Gerwig), a vibrant and practical thirty-something New Yorker working in education, who without success in finding love, decides now is the time to have a child on her own. But when she meets John Harding (Ethan Hawke), an anthropology professor and struggling novelist, Maggie falls in love for the first time, and adjusts her plans for motherhood. Complicating matters, John is in an unhappy marriage with Georgette Harding (Julianne Moore), an ambitious academic who is driven by her work. With some help from Maggie's eccentric and hilarious best friends, married couple Tony (Bill Hader) and Felicia (Maya Rudolph), Maggie sets in motion a new plan that intertwines their lives and connects them in surprising and humorous ways. Maggie learns that sometimes destiny should be left to its own devices. 'Maggie's Plan' is a sweet, sophisticated and funny exploration of the unexpected complexities of modern romance, mixing heart and humor in a story of the delightful variability of relationships over the course of time.

Lame, and tedious. "Maggie" delivers her lines in a flat, emotionless hesitant manner, like she is reading a script for the first time, or as if her mind is somewhere else. Lead characters are supposed to be sophisticated academics, but their dialog is peppered with filler words like "so", "umh", "you know" and yes, "like", as well as unimaginative expletives. They sounded like teen aged girls on a cell phone. Clever premise, but poorly developed. And, take it from someone who tramped for miles on snowshoes in Manitoba, the snowshoes "John" and "Georgette" had on were way too small.
