At Middleton is about an improbable coming together of a couple adults while taking their separate kids on a college visit. Andy Garcia’s George is there with his son, and Vera Farmiga’s Edith is visiting with her daughter. The two are quite charming around and towards each other, unfortunately their acting skills are sort of wasted in this predictable romantic comedy. Edith is in an unloving marriage, George is bored with his, and so the two gravitate towards each other over the course of the long day. In the end, nothing for anyone involved turns out the way they expected at the start. The movie is quaint at times, but wanders off course at others, and I’m not sure they really had a target audience in mind when making this one; it can’t decide if it wants to be a When Harry Met Sally or an adult Ferris Bueller. Fairly forgettable, almost as soon as it is over.
