(Blu-ray, Echo Bridge)
Middle-aged Diane Keaton, who has spent her adult life taking care of her bed ridden father, is diagnosed with leukemia. She contacts her sister, Meryl Streep, whom she has not seen in 20 years and her sister's son, Leonardo DiCaprio, in the hope that one of them will be a match for a bone marrow transplant. Streep and son struggle to get along so it is up to Keaton to show them how to love each other, and their extended family. Streep and DiCaprio seem forced, but Keaton is irresistable in her role. There are some awkward comedy scenes that threaten to spoil everything, but the drama, and heart, keeps it afloat.
