Good movie but grossly overrated
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.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Really bad movie, boring, predictable characters, poor acting. I gave up after 30 minutes
When I watched the preview I decided it would be worth a try and I'm glad I took the time. It is a rom-com with an all star, all mature cast. But it is about more than romantic love. In fact, it is mostly about the love of family and friends. It makes you think about what constitutes a full life. It is about sticking by the people in your life life even when they are messy and need different things. Romantic love is only a fraction of the experience. And that is the point. I recommended it to a couple of my friends and can't wait to talk to them about it.
The chemistry between Sharon Stone and Tony Goldwyn works pretty well here, but I'm wondering, as other reviewers have mentioned, why first time writer and director Susan Walter chose to initially present Stone as a 46-year-old? Since Goldwyn is soon to be 58 in real life just two years her junior (as Stone is 60) , wouldn't it have been even more real and effective to start out presenting Stone's character Senna as a 56-year-old woman, who ages per the film's main premise. She is still so vivacious and beautiful that, at least in my mind, this would have enhanced the film even more.Overall, I thought parts of this movie were charming and effective while other parts fell flat and were just not believable. Also, the characters were too surfacy for my tastes and never really developed fully. So, a mixed bag for me here and only a fair rating.
Seriously? The movie is somewhat boring, and cheesy.
