This is a feel-good movie, giving almost the same vibes as the 2010 similarly titled Welcome to the Rileys picture. The plot is also pretty similar: depressed aging man meets runaway teen and decides to help her while she helps him finding a new purpose in life. Although the two share roughly the same plot, the action unfolds differently, and I can't really decide which one I liked better. If in Welcome to the Rileys, the depression of the main character has a solid reason (the death of their daughter), this time the protagonist seems to be depressed for no specific reason, other then aging, becoming less relevant, and, ultimately, a "painter's block". He has a loving wife, a family, fame, and a good amount of money. However, he decides to run away from it all, while also contemplating suicide. On his way, he meets a troubled young girl, that was banished by her mother and stepfather. She's not really a runaway, but she has no way to go so she jumps into the depressed man's car on heavy rain. What comes next is pretty predictable, yet not boring.
I enjoyed watching this movie, and it's a solid 7/10 from me.
