Synopsis
Nobody likes self-centered realtor Oren Little, and he prefers it that way. He's deliberately mean to anyone who crosses his path and wants nothing more than to sell one final house and retire. His life turns upside-down when his estranged son drops off a granddaughter he never knew existed. Suddenly left in charge of her and with no idea how to take care of a child, he pawns the girl off on his neighbor, Leah -- but he eventually learns how to open his heart.

The Hollywood Reporter
No one who sees the film will feel it breaks any new ground, but as a cinematic equivalent of comfort food, it goes down easily. - 65
TheWrap
Douglas and Keaton conjure just enough empathy and optimism and cozy charm between them to make us believe that anything can happen at twilight. - 50
The A.V. Club
A mediocre movie, starring two great actors who’ve certainly done worse, that benefits from baseline competence and lowered expectations. - 50
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Seeing these veteran players go through their paces, find their comic rhythms and probe for laughs where many a laugh has been found before is not a bad thing. - 50
Miami Herald
Not entirely unwatchable. - 40
The Dissolve
Romantically uninspiring and comedically unstable, And So It Goes is a poor excuse for a rom-com, even one that continually plays by the rules of the genre and has two major stars to keep it bouncing along. - 38
Chicago Tribune
The slapstick is awful; the pathos isn't much better, though it's far more plentiful. - 30
Variety
For all of its 93 minutes, you never feel anything significant is at stake for anyone — save for a paycheck.
