moonspinner55 Filmmaker Alan J. Pakula was the true definition of an actor's director: he paid so much attention to the nuances and details of a performance that he often lagged behind in his pacing. With "See You in the Morning", which Pakula directed and wrote, not only is the narrative flow made of lead, the characters simply don't emerge (despite an apparently hand-picked collection of actors). Divorced psychologist and father Jeff Bridges meets a new lady (with children of her own), but blending the families proves to be difficult. With so many television-movies (not to mention TV-sitcoms) mining this territory, it's amazing that Pakula thought he could unearth fresh sentiment out of such a stale situation. He gets the milieu down right, and his picture looks good, but very little of the drama rings true. Linda Lavin stands out in top supporting cast, though Farrah Fawcett (as Bridges' flaky first wife) is lost in the muddle. *1/2 from ****

gcbartsc Along the emotional lines of "Ordinary People", but not as good a script. Good acting by Daniels, Fawcett, and a young Drew Barrymore. I was not sure where it was going until the end. At that point, you think you've got it, and then they twist again. I own it and have seen it three times. Most would be satisfied with just one viewing. gb

lindee11 This was the first film i've ever seen that addresses what a man goes through emotionally when dealing with all the ramifications of divorce, separation from his own children and blending families when he enters into a relationship with a woman with children of her own. It deals with what it must be like to assume the role of caretaker in another man's house, with another man's children while someone else is in his former home with his children. Women and children aren't the only ones who have complex feelings when families play musical homes.

Meredith-7 This has to be one of the most boring films I have ever watched. It just did not capture my attention at all. For a start, it was billed as a comedy- which it was not- there was only one semi amusing scene near the end. But worst of all, nothing particularly interesting ever happens. The characters are not fully developed enough for you to care about them at any great length, although the actors were good in their roles, particularly Lukas Haas. Most of the storyline was very superficial, you could see that they were trying to play on a variety of human emotions- but they failed in most if not all cases. It played a lot like a pilot for a drama series that never made it into a full season of episodes. A total waste of time really, unless your analyse this for a social study class.
