Home Again, a shambles of a first feature written and directed by Hallie Meyers-Shyer, purports to tell the story of a woman reinventing her life in Los Angeles as she confronts middle age. On more levels than one, though, the film is about the enduring potency of Hollywood connections.
It wouldn't be worth mentioning that Meyers-Shyer comes from industry royalty but for the fact that this film would never have, and a very good remake of . Meyers Sr. also produced , which, not coincidentally, is a slapped-together knockoff of a Nancy Meyers movie.
