The world was saddened to learn of the death of Diane Keaton at age 79.
56.
55. I absolutely hated this movie.
Diane and Jeff Daniels waste their energy on this woeful comedy that didn't even go wide in the last week of December. Jon Heder of "Napoleon Dynamite" fame, is unlikeable as her aimless 30 year old son. If nothing else, it illustrates why his career fizzled out. A director(Tim Hamilton) with no Wiki page and a sickly $688,145 worldwide gross made "Boy" a total bust.
Another total failure
Mandy Moore
Beatty
This miserable Garry Marshall drama finds Juliette Lewis going full retard and losing her "NBK" cool factor. Diane is her mother. Moving on.
This movie doesn't work at all.
A "Baby Boom" reunion for Diane and Sam Shepard did not produce nearly as much audience engagement, ten years later. This 1966 Texas-set indie relationship drama was quietly dumped in a few theaters, with zero promotion. No thrills here, not one.
Emma Roberts
Khouri hasn't made a movie since.
Nimoy

Diane and a very bearded Brendan Gleeson tried to enliven this harmless dramady to no avail- it barely got released theatrically during Trump's first term. Loosely based on the story of a homeless man(Harry Hallowes) in a London heath, an unlikely romance and Stephen Warbeck's busy score may work on female Tubi viewers, where this film will permanently reside. One of the last films that the Weinsteins were involved with, which may explain it's low profile.
Michael Douglas
Did the world need two "Book Club" movies? I say, definitely not. Did it need one? I know I'm not the target audience here, and I'm all for talented older women onscreen, and you can't get a better team than Diane, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen, and Mary Steenburgen. I would just rather you read a book instead, and I don't mean the "Fifty Shades" trilogy. An under-served demographic surely led to a $104 million worldwide gross in 2018, and the Italy-set sequel is the most lightweight film I've ever seen.
This movie has it's fans. I'm not one of them,
Meg Ryan
Meyers
Oscar bait. Unless you're a Diane Keaton completist, you can probably skip this.
Diane's last decent movie should please fans of the crazy-old-lady subgenre. because...why not?
Ford
Diane Keaton, Jessica Lange, Sissy Spacek. Why don't people remember this movie? Director Bruce Beresford was in between two '80s Oscar winners, "Tender Mercies" and "Driving Miss Daisy". Last time I checked it was on Tubi.
Hawn
small role
Woody Allen and Diane Keaton. What a team.
Woody's first "serious" movie. Roger Ebert gave it four stars.
The eighth and final film
Coppola
Diane memorably shed her good girl image in this dark drama that was long denied an official DVD/bluray release over music licensing complications. The fact that she never really embraced the film or did anything else like it also contributed to it's lost-in-time status. Richard Gere and Tom Berenger appear in breakout supporting roles. Tuesday Weld got a Supporting Actress nomination for playing her sister.
Dory's mother
Gibson
What a powerhouse pair. Diane got the Best Actress nomination.

The second best Woody-Diane movie is a must see for cinema lovers.
