The good and the bad
IMHO...the good: (1) REALLY liked the two main characters. Found them to be very compelling people. As expected, very good acting from both of them.
the bad: (1) as genuine as the 2 main characters seemed to be, the auxiliary characters were, by and large, absurd, where every person who hit the door was a bigger knob than the last person. WAY over the top, starting with the very first couple who came in to look at the apartment (where the yuppie douche wouldn't get off his cell phone). Then, a bit later on, the point is hammered home that this is absolutely a seller's market and, as such, any buyer had better do some major hiney smooching if they want to have a prayer of being allowed to buy......this after virtually EVERY prospective buyer acted like a truly loathsome POS. (2)I agree with some other comments about how the prospective move made little sense. The first time it's really mentioned is AFTER the unit is on the market and offers are flooding in; the main couple THEN has a brief discussion about where they should move...Florida? Ridiculous.......any sane couple would have had that discussion well BEFORE they listed their current unit on the market. Then, the decision that they end up making, at least temporarily, seems pretty stupid. They've been there for 40 years, their ship is coming in, they're going to sell the apartment and become millionaires......and they decide to plow ALL of the receipts from the sale into a very similar unit that seems to be minutes away??!! (3) The "side stories" were either cute but somewhat distracting (the dog) or stupid as hell and VERY distracting (the alleged terrorist). Two minutes in, you KNOW that the guy is innocent (specifically as soon as you hear the TV anchor say something along the lines of "Isn't he wearing the type of head gear that Muslim terrorists wear?"). In addition, we learn VERY early on in the story, that the truck that he abandoned did NOT carry explosives, yet we're supposed to believe that, until this guy is found, the entire city, including the real estate market is going to be at an virtual standstill.
