Maggie's Plan (2015/Sony Blu-ray)



Picture: B+ Sound: B+ Extras: B Film: B



Director Rebecca Miller's new romantic comedy, Maggie's Plan (2015) features a great all-star cast and an intelligent screenplay that gives it an edge over other recent films in the genre. Starring the always-charming Greta Gerwig, Ethan Hawke, Bill Hader, Maya Rudolph, Travis Fimmel, with an outstanding performance by Julianne Moore, the film crafts an interesting story of falling in and out of love and the impact that a divorce that can have on a family.


Set in New York, Gerwig stars as Maggie - a young woman who just wants a romantically successful life and a family to come home to. Soon, she becomes involved with John (Hawke) - a man who is on the outs of his marriage with the 'monster' Georgette (Moore) who has, in many ways, upturned his life. Falling for John at first, but soon realizing that he isn't all that she is looking for, Maggie soon hatches a harebrained scheme to reunite John and Georgette whilst taking advice from her witty friends in the meantime.


Presented in 1080p high definition with a widescreen aspect ratio of 1.85:1 and a fantastic DTS-HD MA (Master Audio) lossless 5.1 track, the film looks and sounds great on Blu-ray disc and leaves little to be desired in terms of presentation. Also included is an UltraViolet digital copy of the film.


Special Features include
