Just Getting Started, of 2017, is the second actor-director collaboration between Rene Russo and Ron Shelton (the first one was the movie Tin Cup, where Ms. Russo portrayed Molly Griswold). According to this talented actress, "Ron Shelton writes really strong women, but he always gives them a flavor.  I think he likes just a little bit of unpredictability. They’re totally together, but I love that he says they’re either hanging by a thread, or there’s a problem they’re trying to get through, so you get to see them get through it. It’s always exciting because it’s not one-dimensional. I love that about Ron. He’s so good. He’s such a good romantic comedy writer, and I love that he writes complicated women."

What we most adore from this movie is that Suzie Quince, in the movie, she's always with her dog co-star, Romeo. For me, I can see every person with their dog or mascot on TV, but rarely on movies. But for Rene, there was only one difficult scene with this cute dog, where she was kidnapped by the thieves (that happened almost in the end of the film). 

... and with Morgan Freeman, who Ms. Russo worked previously in Outbreak (1995)

And also, for Rene Russo, working with Tommy Lee Jones and Morgan Freeman, who worked with the last one previously on Outbreak, by Wolfgang Petersen, in 1995, was kind of cool. 

"They’re completely different, but they were both funny. Tommy’s funny was interior funny. Morgan’s funny was broad comedy that was just bigger. They were perfectly matched, in that way. They held their own. They’re both so strong. They’re equally as strong. I had no idea that that was what was gonna happen. When you get two actors together, you don’t know what the chemistry is gonna be. As I was watching them, I thought, “Oh, they have really good chemistry together.” I thought their chemistry was really good."

Hope u like it !
