The Good House (film)

The Good House is a 2021 American comedy-drama film directed by Maya Forbes and Wally Wolodarsky, who wrote the screenplay with Thomas Bezucha.

[4] Hildy Good, once the most prosperous realtor in Wendover, has fallen on hard times following her divorce and her family's insistence she go to rehab for alcoholism.

Peter approaches her about selling his home, but says it's not set in stone and not to speak of it; Hildy assumes this means he will be asking his wife for a divorce.

Frank hides her car, then leaves to help with the search, while Hildy goes to the kitchen to take a drink when Peter walks in dripping wet.

Hildy willingly goes into rehab this time and accepts that she does have a drinking problem, and the movie closes with her and Frank sailing on the boat he made for her when they were young.

Maya Forbes and Wally Wolodarsky were directing the film in addition to writing the screenplay, and Sigourney Weaver and Kevin Kline cast to star.

[5] Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Beverly D'Angelo, David Rasche, and Rebecca Henderson were added to the cast the next month.

The website's critics consensus reads: "The Good House creaks in spots, but with Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver providing load-bearing performances, it's far from a fixer-upper.
