Like the great Jack Lemmon, Michael Keaton has always had an affinity for films that are not easily categorized as either drama or comedy. Goodrich is certainly more drama than comedy, but a seasoning of ironic humor gives it a valuable extra dimension.
Goodrich, the character, could be a stereotype: he's a guy who's spent too many years in love with his career (as owner of a chic art gallery), and not enough years showing love for his (2) wives or (3) children. The story focuses particularly on his 30-something daughter from his first marriage, and his two nine-year-olds from the more recent one. As the movie opens, Goodrich faces a confusing situation, and the challenges rapidly get tougher as the story progresses.
In strong contrast to many feel-good films having a roughly similar storyline, Goodrich doesn't offer easy answers or magical redemption. It shows life as a constant struggle, allowing us to cringe at the protagonist's failures, and feel warmed by his successes. The script is impressive, dodging many tired twists, and taking the audience on an emotional rollercoaster.
Goodrich is an older character for Keaton, and one that's much less obviously appealing than most of those he's portrayed previously. But few other actors could have made Goodrich so rough and prickly, and at the same time so sympathetic. We really want to see this guy succeed, despite his at times almost unforgivable flaws.
Some viewers may be put off by the rambling style of the movie. But the narrative is actually very cohesive - like real life, you have to let it come at you at its own lurching pace. Good things happen, bad things happen. Some of these things Goodrich - the character - handles badly. Others much better than we might expect. (In its realistic ambiguity, Goodrich - the movie - reminded me quite a bit of Jack Lemmon's least-comedic film, Save the Tiger.)
Given the late release of Goodrich in 2024, one might assume that its creators had some Oscar hopes. Keaton, having been criminally overlooked by the Academy so far, certainly deserves a nomination. So does the script... and possibly Mila Kunis as well.
Goodrich is top-notch in just about every way. It isn't a movie for everyone, or for every occasion - it's emotionally demanding, and as tragic as it is inspiring. But when you're in the mood for that kind of movie, you'll find Goodrich to be among the best of its type.

Hallie Meyers-Shyer delivers her second film as director and screenwriter, a tragicomedy about parenthood with Michael Keaton at his best.
A simple but loving story is what Goodrich delivers about a father who seeks the help of his adult daughter to raise his young twins after his second wife leaves him.
The film works thanks to a pleasant script and enthusiastic direction that allows us to have Michael Keaton in one of his best performances where we can see the actor in all his splendor and with all his talent to take us from comedy to drama and vice versa in a gratifying and perfect way. A character full of humanity and sweetness, but with a soul really in need of affection that makes him an adorable character that hooks you throughout his journey. Also notable are his supporting actors like Mila Kunis and the young actors who demonstrate an avalanche of charisma.
It doesn't reinvent the wheel, it's a routine film that has been seen many times, but it is endearing with funny moments and other emotional ones that make this tragicomedy a pleasant pastime to watch on a family weekend. It doesn't propose new things and always plays it safe in the aspects it wants to explore in depth, but its entire cast gives it an additional plus, which allows you as a spectator to have a good time watching this adventure about fatherhood, maturity, forgiveness and love.
Recommended for anyone looking for something light and full of pleasant messages, it is a movie that you will have a good time with and it will be worth it without any major expectations.

Well, we've seen almost every kind of Michael Keaton there, right? We saw Batman Keaton, we saw Birdman Keaton, we saw The Founder Keaton, and so on. This is him treading comfortable yet dramatic waters, as a father of a 36-year-old and twin 9-year-olds. The film discusses the theme of modern parenting, especially from the perspective of a workaholic, somewhat absentee father.
But since we're talking about an "endearing" Michael Keaton here, can he ever be the quintessential bad guy? Nope. And the film never makes that to be the case. There's the occasionally witty quip, but Goodrich doesn't really aim for comedic highs. It's a drama by all means, with Keaton and Mila Kunis doing most of the work. The finale can be seen coming a mile away, yet it lands on steady ground, thanks to its lightweight treatment and good performances overall.

I didn't find this movie has much to say: for me it was mainly about a bunch of unhelpful noisy people making a good-hearted man's difficulties worse. I felt sympathy for Dad, but failed to find much point in seeing his efforts flounder. It was like sitting through a gathering of bickering relatives that mostly make you want to leave the gathering and go sit somewhere else.
Can't complain about the acting. It was persuasive. I just complain about my being there. I decided to finish watching while I washed the dishes. Kinda suited to mood of the movie.
My advice is; go find something else to watch.

Goodrich starts off somewhat disjointed but gradually finds its stride, especially towards the end. The film offers several heartwarming moments, but the first act suffers from excessive exposition that feels forced and unnatural. Rather than relying on dialogue-heavy scenes, the story would have benefited from showing more of the evolving relationship between Goodrich and his eldest daughter, Grace. Unfortunately, too much time is spent on the somewhat irrelevant dynamic between Goodrich and Michael Urie's character (Terry), which detracts from the main plot. Additionally, the film struggles with balancing serious moments, often interrupting them with forced witty dialogue that undermines the emotional impact. Despite its flaws, "Goodrich" manages to deliver a somewhat satisfying finish, though it could have reached deeper emotional heights with better pacing and character focus. For a sophomore directorial effort, it was satisfactory.
