Review of According to Greta

A very slow start, but it does get better. I thought the actors did a great job with what they had to work with. I'm sorry but I thought the writers could have done a little better job. Many parts were very "true to life" actions and attitudes of a troubled unlovable teen. I know I was one and Hilary really hit some of my emotions & reactions right on the nose. "Gramps" was a great buffer between Greta and "Grams". Julie was good match for her, I was initially weary of him, but he won me over, just as he did Gramps. The job interview needed either more or less comedy, it didn't quite fit the rest of the movie, it wasn't Hil's fault. Her waitressing was very funny though. I laughed as hard as the customers. The fish tasting scene was very sweet and really gave Julie a heart. I loved the way she handled the morning after catching Grams and Gramps in bed! The biggest let down was the ending. It left me wanting either closure or a sequel to find out how the family evolved, if she finish school back home and if she and Julie moved on.
