Movie alert: At Middleton

I love movies.

This one we stumbled upon last night on Starz.  The title could be better, but the movie is charming and well done.  It is directed by Adam Rodgers (do not know him) and stars Andy Garcia (take your pick) and Vera Farmiga (Up in the Air) as prospective parents (of different children) who escape from a boring college tour and, over the course of a day,  fall in love.  The ideas are creative, the screenplay is good, and the performances are wonderful.  It came out last year and was apparently a “sleeper”.  We saw it in our usual way: we saw the last 90 minutes, went to sleep, and the next day found it on On Demand and watched the whole thing again.

IMDb gave it a 6.5, rotten tomatoes a 58, but I think it’s better than either of these scores.  The Ed-ometer gives it two big thumbs up (left and right).
