Rotten Tomatoes: 16% | IMDb: 5.9/10

As 2025 comes to an end, many will be reflecting on the titans of Hollywood that we sadly lost this year.

And So It Goes follows Oren Little (Michael Douglas), a man who has turned his back on those around him following the death of his wife. However, when suddenly put in the care of his granddaughter, whom he never knew existed, he must turn to his neighbor for help.
