Better than most people think

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Saw the trailer -it looked bad and judging from the reviews most people think it's bad. Not a huge fan of Micheal Sheen and don't buy he would have hooked up with Reese back in the day, unless the guys were really ugly way back.Was hoping it was a smart funny self-critical look at the older woman younger guy/s thing. Some gifted feminist writers can hold up the mirror make you look at yourself, make you laugh, cry and leave you feeling like you want to either slash your wrists or pick your face up off the pavement and go at it again. Judging by the reviews, good and bad, the movie doesn't do that.Its harsh of me I know but anything with Candice Bergen in it is b-grade. If Barbra Streisand was her mother it would have been intriguing, still I'm sure its a light morale booster for 40 somethings -there's nothing wrong with that. Still my thoughts -it's not my cup of tea. Is this a review? No -an assumption!

It's an okay movie. It seemed like a Hallmark Made for TV movie, not a Hollywood Blockbuster. I love Reese Witherspoon's movies, so this was a bit of a disappointment.

I don't know why the reviews for this movie are so poor. I found it to be a heartwarming story about family and relationships, and really funny. Sure, it wasn't groundbreaking, but I enjoyed watching it. Reese did an excellent job of portraying a strong, newly single mom. Don't let the bad reviews turn you off!

I rented this movie first On Demand after a horrible work day. I just felt I needed something to help me relax. And this movie delivered exactly what I needed. I loved it. After watching this movie, all of the bad from my day was gone. It definitely is one of the best feel good movies I have ever watched. The characters were so real and relatable. The story, to me, was perfect. It had just the right amount of romance, and humor. Reece Witherspoon was great in this. The 3 guys that play Harry, George, and Teddy were wonderful and I just wanted to hug them all. This movie just really depicts real life situations that can happen and it does it wonderfully. It is a movie about starting over, and it hits the nail on the head. I've been through a very similar situation personally and I could totally relate to this movie. After seeing it On Demand, I went and bought the DVD and have watched it another 6 times. I may need to buy another copy, because I think I will wear the first one out. Anyone who gives this movie a low rating, just doesn't get it. I personally loved the movie and I would recommend it to anyone. It is definitely in my list of favorites. I applaud everyone in it and associated with it and say job well done.
