Ed Hemsler (John Lithgow) is spending his retirement (time and money) preparing for an apocalypse that he knows will come; in Ronnie Meisner (Blythe Danner), he thinks heās found a soulmateā¦ The directorās first feature is a pleasant but bland meditation on what would happen if a devoted prepper found his exact opposite and fell in love; the story also examines an awkward bond between father and son. Boosted by Lithgow, and Danner has a certain befuddled charm, but there isnāt much to the script ā even if the last scene is an example of its quirkier moments.
