And So It Goes (2014 Rob Reiner)

Totally predictable, nevertheless Mark Andrus' screenplay is fun, and Diane Keaton and Michael Douglas are well-matched. She should have won awards - she's fabulous. He co-wrote As Good As It Gets too, which fits. Sterling Jerins is the girl. With Annie Parisse, Austin Lysy, Yaya DaCosta (The Nice Guys, The Butler), Frances Sternhagen, Rob Reiner.

Maybe it would be an idea to reverse the formula - start off with everyone liking the protagonist, then gradually going off him/her as the film progresses. A sort of anti-Hollywood story idea.

The 'gardener' who takes the last doughnut is a good touch.

I did have a problem with those doors, however. Felt one should have been flipped:
