An alcoholic is primarily a human being with an alcohol problem - not just an alcoholic
Charm and sobriety
Weaver's character should be unlikable, but the humanity of her flaws, as well as her humour makes that not so. I can't say this is Weaver's best film, but she's highly watchable.
Themes include friendship, class, and alcoholism. There's really not a lot new here, but Weaver breaking the 4th wall is a nice touch and all the subjects are treated with a degree of finesse.
I'm sure many will watch The Good House for the third outing of Kline and Weaver together, despite it being their softest. It's not as bleak as The Ice House, or as quirky as Dave.
This is predictable adult-contemporary fare, but I was engaged until the end. Weaver mostly steals the show.
