Goodrich is as run-of-the-mill as it gets. Workaholic father gets “stuck” with his grown-ass 4th graders after his much younger wife checks into a rehab center partially due to his lack of attention, similar to the lowkey neglect he gave to his adult daughter who he has a slightly better relationship with now. We’ve all seen this movie before, but with entertaining cast members such as Michael Keaton, Mila Kunis, Michael Urie, and young standout Vivien Lyra Blair, director Hallie Meyers-Shyers utilizes their charisma to make oft-tread territory watchable. While it is enjoyable, it’s still a surface level attempt at a feel-good heartwarming story.

Goodrich isn’t without merit, but it’s a fairly standard, almost slight, semi-heartwarming, “man has a mid-life crisis” movie (ignore that said man (Michael Keaton) is 73 years old). Honestly, if not for Keaton, of whom I’m a big fan, I probably wouldn’t have maintained the modicum of interest I did. In fact, it plays a little like a serious remake to 1983’s Mr. Mom (also starring Keaton), and there is even an endearing Multiplicity connection (a possible Keatonverse?). So, suffice to say, he does enough of his typical thing, alongside some solid supporting turns, to hold it all together. Overall, a pleasant yet forgettable experience.
