\u201cThe best-laid plans of mice and men often go astray.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Have you ever wanted something so bad, that the logistics of obtaining it turns out to be an epic fail? It\u2019s as if we get in our own way without allowing life to happen naturally. In these days and times the dream of a white picket fence has turned into a house made of straw. Therefore when we can\u2019t have life one way we\u2019re piecing things together to fit our equation of success. This method will eventually fall down and blow away with the wind causing us to ask ourselves, \u201cWhat the hell was I thinking?\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is said that you should never judge a book by its cover or a movie by its film still. The new movie Maggie\u2019s Plan had me at the synopsis alone.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Maggie Hardin represents the modern thirty-something woman who somewhat has it all but missing one thing; A family. Actress Greta Gerwig portrays a character that is so relatable yet innocent, gullible, and foolish at the same time. Her story unfolds right from the start and you begin to see the vulnerable sides of this woman. Although empathy begins to set in, it quickly dissipates when temptation arrives.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The actor, Ethan Hawke, portrays John Harding in a comical manner that is believable. There are times when I find him absolutely hilarious and then a total jerk. Somehow it all works. Julianne Moore (Georgette Harding), Bill Hader (Tony), and Maya Randolph (Felicia) are phenomenal. Tony, who plays Maggie\u2019s best friend in the movie, is someone we all need in our corner to set us straight when we get out of our minds.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One aspect of Maggie that I find remarkable is her courage to let go. It is a true testament of a woman when we recognize our wrong, forgive ourselves, and begin life again naturally. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this film. I will be pleasantly surprised if a sequel is not in the works, due to an interesting cliff hanger at the end.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
