Michael Keaton, Mila Kunis, and Carmen Ejogo are some of my favorite actors, but they didn’t help get the treacly, insubstantial “Goodrich” off the ground.

Boutique art gallery owner Andy Goodrich’s (Michael Keaton) life is turned upside down when his wife—the mother of their 9-year-old twins (Laura Benanti)—leaves the family stranded by entering a 90-day rehab program. Inspired by films like “Terms Of Endearment” and “Kramer vs. Kramer,” this is the harsh family dynamic at the core of the very mild “Goodrich.”
