"5 Flights Up"

Every once in a while, you just need what I call a "nice" movie. One where nothing really bad happens and you feel good after watching it. This is a prime example of a "nice" movie. It stars Diane Keaton and Morgan Freeman.They play an older couple who met when he was a young, aspiring artist and she was a model. After they married they bought an apartment in Brooklyn. Fast forward to today, and a real-estate agent friend tells them that their place is worth close to a million dollars. The area is being gentrified, like all of New York, and they get caught up in a selling frenzy. The whole neighborhood is turning hipster. Not a lot happens plot-wise, and just about the only bad thing in the movie is when their dog gets sick and they have to take it to the vet. But overall, it's a charming little movie and there's definitely chemistry between the two leads.
3.5 out of 5 stars.
