‘Your Place Or Mine’ Review: Reese Witherspoon And Ashton Kutcher Go The Distance In Sweet, If Familiar, Romcom
Twenty years earlier, the two had a one-night stand that Peter just didn’t want to repeat, claiming he was commitment-phobic and not the right guy for Debbie. They decided instead to be best friends, even at a long distance when his fear of earthquakes led him to flee Los Angeles for New York City where he could follow his writing ambitions — although clearly he has money by the looks of his dream apartment looking out over the Big Apple.
Debbie is divorced and bringing up son Jack , about whom she is clearly over-protective. An accountant at a local school, she seizes the opportunity to expand her horizons and head to NYC for some classes that will help her advance in her job — plus it is a good opportunity to see old friend Peter. However, when her babysitter bails on the eve of her trip she has to cancel until Peter suggests he can be on the plane to L.A. to fill in and take care of Jack while she comes to New York.
Peter turns out to be just the male influence Jack needs, opening up a whole new world to the kid who was bullied at school and had few friends. From watchingtogether to getting Jack into hockey it is a completely different life for Peter than he ever had in New York.
You can thank solid pros and veterans of the genre, Witherspoon and Kutcher, for really making this work as well as it does.
