‘古德里奇’讲述了一个男人在努力拯救自己的生意的同时，意外发现自己临时成为单亲父亲。

作为父母，并没有一种正确的育儿方式，但肯定有错误的方式。许多事业繁忙的父母在家里花不够时间，直到太迟才意识到他们错过了重要的童年时刻，而现在长大的孩子对他们的缺席感到愤怒。除了可能试图修复与现有孩子的关系外，有些人还有机会通过一个新的家庭重新开始，这很可能会带来其他复杂性。在《Goodrich》中，一个男人试图在照顾年幼的双胞胎的同时，也照顾着正在等待第一个孩子的成年女儿。

安迪·古德里奇（Michael Keaton）拥有曾经非常成功的画廊，现在却濒临倒闭。让他更加紧张的是，他的妻子突然去戒毒中心，让他独自照顾他九岁的双胞胎。尽管安迪和怀孕中的女儿格蕾丝（Mila Kunis）关系不错，但她在成长过程中很少陪在她身边——这是一个他尽力避免重复的错误。现在，安迪必须在争取展示一位最近去世艺术家作品的展览权利的同时，兼顾家长会、玩伴约会、购买婴儿用品和医生预约，以拯救他的画廊。

电影的焦点是安迪竭尽全力做到这一切——在一个灵活的保姆的帮助下。然而，离婚的孩子可能更能理解格蕾丝的角度，因为她看到安迪成为了她在同龄人时从未有过的细心和关爱父亲。即使现在，每次他把新家庭放在她之前，她都勉为其难地原谅他，尽管这在她的失望记忆墙上再次钉下了一根痛苦的钉子。但人们也不能责怪她让他试着在那里，因为他不断展示他有多么爱她。昆斯的选角很好，通过一个表情传达了格蕾丝情感的细微差别——比如“我当然不能指望安迪不去照顾生病的孩子，但他又取消了我们的计划，我还是有点失望”的表情。

话虽如此，安迪很迷人和真诚，即使他犯错时，尤其是在他请求原谅时。他还出人意料地乐观和自信地回应负面情况——这些特质在他的位置上的男性中并不常见。当他看着另一个男人做一个好丈夫或好父亲时，他的眼中透露出一种后悔的表情，让观众更加支持他努力成为一个更好的父亲的努力。基顿似乎对安迪有一种连接，也许是借鉴了他工作使他远离自己的儿子，现在他有了自己的孩子。无论是基顿的灵感如何，他都演绎了一个讨人喜欢的表演。

‘Goodrich’ follows a man who unexpectedly finds himself to be a single father, though temporarily, while in the midst of trying to save his business.

There’s not necessarily a right way to parent, but there is certainly a wrong way. Many parents with busy careers don’t spend enough time at home, realizing too late that they’ve missed important childhood moments and that their now older children are resentful of their absenteeism. In addition to potentially trying to repair relationships with their existing kids, some people have the opportunity to do it all over again with a new family, which unsurprisingly introduces other complications. In Goodrich, a man tries to be there for his young twins, as well as his adult daughter who is expecting her first child.

Andy Goodrich (Michael Keaton) owns a once very successful gallery that is now on the verge of closure. Adding to his stress is the news that his wife unexpectedly checked into rehab, leaving him to care for his nine-year-old twins alone. Though Andy has an agreeable relationship with his expecting daughter, Grace (Mila Kunis), he wasn’t around much when she was growing up — a mistake he’s doing his best to avoid this time. Now, Andy must juggle parent-teacher meetings, playdates, shopping for baby supplies and doctor’s appointments, while trying to secure the rights to exhibit the works of a recently deceased artist that could save his gallery.

The film’s focus is Andy’s earnest attempts to do it all — with the aid of a flexible babysitter. Yet, children of divorce may find they identify more with Grace’s perspective as she watches Andy be the attentive and involved father to the twins that she never had at their age. Even now, she begrudgingly absolves him each time he puts his new family ahead of her, though it hammers another painful nail into her memory wall of disappointments. But one also can’t blame her for allowing him to try to be there for her since he consistently demonstrates how much he loves her. Kunis is well-casted, conveying the nuances of Grace’s emotions with just an expression — such as the “of course I can’t expect Andy not to go to his sick child, but I’m not any less disappointed he’s cancelling our plans again” look.

That said, Andy is charming and sincere, even when he screws up and especially when he begs for forgiveness. He’s also surprisingly upbeat and optimistic, answering negativity with wit and confidence — traits you don’t often see in men in his position. There’s a look of regret in his eyes when he witnesses another man being a good husband or father, earning him further favour with audiences who find themselves supporting his endeavours to be a better dad. Keaton appears to have a connection to Andy, perhaps drawing on his own experiences of work keeping him away from his son, who now has children of his own. Regardless of Keaton’s inspiration, he delivers an endearing performance.
