Review of Why Stop Now?

Why Stop Now? (2012)
7/10
Charming story about the ups and downs of family love.
13 March 2022
The good; charming, true to life, witty (at moments), endearing and uplifting.

Any bad? It's a bit slow, so probably best suited for a patient arthouse movie audience.

The story: Jesse Eisenberg is desperately trying to get his mother into rehab, so he doesnt have to nanny her no more and so he can chase his life long dream and enroll into music college. Will he be able to convince his mother to go to rehab? And will Jesse Eisenberg be able to chase his life long music dream?

A subtle family portrait, with some comic plot turns and lots of likeable characters. Just one of this little indie films that I missed out on in 2012. What a luck that I got a chance to see it now, because it touched me and it put a happy smile on my face, when the end credits rolled...
