Frothy comedies from major filmmakers are almost critic-proof. Complain that they're frothy and, the pushback will be, "Well, you see, it's supposed to be a light treat." Still, I found On the Rocks unsatisfying.
For MEL, I wrote about the movie's most interesting dynamic: its study of infidelity, both in the past and the present, and how it challenges the bond between a daughter and her dad. Hope you enjoy.
