New Yorker Mathias (Kevin Kline) journeys to Paris after learning that he's inherited a spacious apartment from his estranged father. Mathias hopes to simply liquidate his new property and return home, but his plan hits a snag when he discovers that the elderly Mathilde (Maggie Smith) and her daughter (Kristin Scott Thomas) are inhabiting the space and have no inclination - nor a legally enforceable reason - to leave. The apartment, he learns, is what the French call a viager, which, in accordance with centuries-old tradition, will not revert to his possession until its present occupant passes away. As he attempts to sell his contract - and even resorts to blackmail - to profit from a losing deal, Mathias comes to learn more about Mathilde, and his father, than he'd ever intended. (Cinemax)

A pleasant movie that reminds me of A Good Year in many regards. Only with the difference that A Good Year’s characters were way more likeable and the locations were one grade higher; I’m not saying that Kevin Kline didn’t put on a good show or that Paris was any less charming than the French countryside. It’s all about what personalities and what places I’m personally drawn to and My Old Lady is just on a different level in this regard. On the other hand, some of Kevin Kline’s business skills make me laugh to this day.

Such a pleasant story that will leave you with quite nice feelings and faith in better relationships between people, but still, these feelings will quickly disappear and it is quite possible that you won't remember much from the movie the next day. But that first impression, those first feelings are truly quite pleasant.
