I will not be able to review this book. I started to read it, but it just didn't meet my expectations. I couldn't connect with the characters, and the plot just didn't really vibe the way I had hoped it would. It could be a case of "wrong book at the wrong time", so maybe I will try again later.
Cute story with comedic tones. The protagonist takes film lessons to make his sister happy, but he ends falling for the teacher. Along the way, he recounts life with his grandparents and their buddies at a senior citizens apartment complex in Florida. A lot of stereotypes, but they're written in an amusing tongue-in-cheek manner.
Oh, my gosh! Chuckerman Writes a Movie is hilarious at times, seriously retrospective at others. I literally laughed out loud at many of the scenes. Other scenes were thoughtful and reflective. It is a perfect combination of funny and serious wrapped up in the story of David Melman and Laurel Sorenson. David has been told his is floundering in both love and life. His sister, Marcy, strongly suggests he takes a course in screen writing. Her friend, Laurel (The Mormon Rodeo) teaches it and feels it will help him in life. He falls for her; she falls for him. But, a pristine, ancient Cadillac stands in the middle.
