Please Give (2010)
7/10
Enjoyable Comedy
7 August 2011
This is a light-hearted look at the lives of a married couple, a dying old woman who lives next door, and the latter's two granddaughters. Keener is wonderful as an emotional woman who gives big bills to homeless street people and yearns to volunteer her time to help the poor and disabled. Peet is deliciously bitchy as a self-absorbed spa worker. Hall is fine as Peet's sensitive sister, although it's hard to believe that she has trouble getting dates. Guilbert is a hoot as the sisters' grandmother, a blunt woman in her 90s. Rounding out the cast are Platt and as Keener's wayward husband and Steele as her spoiled daughter, respectively. It's sensitively directed by Holofcenter.
