Reese Witherspoon in Home Again VarietyHome Again, a lifestyle comedy with a soupon of pain, stars Reese Witherspoon as a perky Los Angeles mother of two coping with a perky divorce and perky career problems lets pause and take a breath before we get to her perky love life. Its the first feature written and directed by Hallie Meyers Shyer, whose last name alone sounds like the opening credits of two dozen comedies Her mother is Nancy Meyers, director of The Parent Trap, Somethings Gotta Give, Its Complicated and The Intern, and her father is Charles Shyer, director of Baby Boom, Father of the Bride and Father of the Bride II. The couple, who divorced in 1. Private Benjamin. Depending on your point of view, that pedigree will mean one of two things Hallie Meyers Shyer was put on earth to make contemporary Hollywood screwball comedies or she was put on earth to make glib, pat, overly cozy and superficial contemporary Hollywood screwball comedies. Home Again nudges you toward the latter scenario, but who knows I had limited patience for the original Meyers Shyer team though Baby Boom remains one of lifes so cheesy its irresistible guilty pleasures, yet once Nancy Meyers went out on her own, she became a wittier and more nimble filmmaker. So maybe Hallie Meyers Shyer will follow in her footsteps and improve. Right now, shes got nowhere to go but up. Heres a way that she needs to improve.
