In Mack & Rita, a body swap brings big changes
Meanwhile, Mack—under the grey-haired guise of Rita—pulls the rug out from beneath her puppy-dog-eyed love interest Jack , a dog-sitting neighbor who falls for Rita. The filmmakers want the audience to believe that his burgeoning love affair with Rita is easily replaceable by one with Mack, since they share a soul as the same person, but suffice it to say that love doesn’t really work like that.
While the plot lacks genuinely comical shenanigans , the actors make up for it in their performances. Lail establishes her character’s awkward insecurities as endearing and delightful, while Keaton showcases her innate skill to make witty one-liners sting, as well as an aptitude for slapstick-y pratfalls . The best sequences in the movie revolve around Rita’s newfound friend group, which includes charismatic actresses of a certain age Loretta Devine, Lois Smith, Wendie Malick and Amy Hill.
