'And So It Goes' stars Michael Douglas (l.) and Diane Keaton (r.).
  • By Peter Rainer Film critic

鈥淎nd So It Goes,鈥� directed by Rob Reiner and written by Mark Andrus,聽is as generic as its title. Michael Douglas plays Oren, a real estate agent聽and world-class curmudgeon who is trying to sell聽his spacious Connecticut home聽for millions more than聽it's worth. A widower who still mourns聽his wife, Oren has a junkie son (Scott Shepherd), en route to jail, who聽unexpectedly shows up with his 9-year-old daughter (Sterling Jerins) in聽tow. Can Granddad care for the girl while Dad is doing time?聽

Oren knew聽nothing of this girl and at first wants nothing to do with her, which is a聽tip-off that this Scrooge will soon enough become Mr. Cuddly. Abetting聽the lovefest is Diane Keaton鈥檚 Leah, a neighbor, lounge singer, and聽widow. I trust you can connect the rest of the dots yourself. Grade:聽C+ (Rated PG-13 for some sexual references and drug elements.)
