seronjaa-797-313124 There aren't many movies showing a relationship between older women and younger men and this one started out quite well. But then it became and insult to our intelligence. They're relationship started out cute and surprisingly not just as a one night stand or sexy forbidden thing. But then the social morals kick in and they break up- because "a 40 year old woman should not date a 25 year old man", no matter how good they are for each other. And after that, this young man, who actually is very much ready to get serious, is going to do what American society expects him to do- travel the world and "grow up". Because 5 years later he is 30 and at this age it is more acceptable to date an older woman. And that's the insult. He is pretty much the same person, not a bit more mature then before, but 30 is such a round number and it represents real adulthood, right? It's just stupid. In those 5 years one of them would either move on and find a new partner or contact "the love of his/ her life" and try to save the relationship. Instead they're selling us this kind of crap. What a pity. I know men, who got married even younger and got children and they are very capable of being mature without having to "see the world or rock cleveland" first. And the children were written pretty poorly, too. As someone said- too intelligent for their age, too much of a smartmouth and so on. More like teenagers stuck in bodies of 7 year olds.

juneebuggy This was your average chick-flick, nothing remarkable but ultimately not boring either. Its described as a "sexy romantic comedy" and its moderately entertaining with a few funny moments and likable characters in Catherine Zeta-Jones and Justin Bartha who provide a somewhat intriguing romance with the whole older woman-younger guy hook.I did want to see how this was going to play out, if and how our couple would get together in the end. I thought the choice the writers came up with was realistic except for the "son" angle.The story follows Zeta-Jones as a 40 something woman who moves to New York City with her two children after discovering her husbands affair. After several disastrous attempts at dating 'Sandy' realizes that she has developed feelings for the 25 year old former barista she befriended and hired as a nanny. Can they overlook the generation gap and forge a lasting bond or do they both have some growing up to do? 9/7/15

CharWoman I can't remember why I added this movie to my Netflix queue, but it wasn't because of the older woman/younger man dynamic. If I'd taken a good look at the poster they chose, I wouldn't have bothered, but it's a good example of this film's identity crisis. It seems to have been marketed as a "cougar romp", which it is not (the sexytime scenes are few and low-key), and takes out-of-tune detours into gross- out/obnoxious-sidekick comedy that don't match the rest of the movie, seemingly tacked on to widen its appeal. The rest of the time it does a fair (though not stellar) job of what it apparently set out to do, which is tell us the stories of the two main characters and how they come together. Despite some stumbles in outlining the particulars, the relationship portrayed feels organic and believable. Jones and Bartha have nice chemistry together. Sandy's character arc is certainly of interest to any woman who is questioning her life choices and redefining what makes a good or 'suitable' relationship, whether or not the betrayal and divorce themes happen to resonate (certainly moreso if they do). Both she and Aram are being pressured by friends/family to make life choices deemed suitable for them by others, a situation most of us can relate to. I appreciated that Aram was not reduced to a two-dimensional cougar or divorcée fantasy object. Happily, they are written as equals, despite a few details being thrown in to remind us of the age difference. More important than the age gap is the exploration of parental/caretaker roles. While Sandy discovers after her divorce that she is able to pursue a career that matters to her, Aram hits the ground running as a competent and gentle caretaker for her two kids, a job he seems to take on out of a desire to heal from his own broken sham of a marriage. Whether or not Justin Bartha really is a genuinely lovely, decent man and human being, he always manages to come across as such, and was perfect for this role. The relationship grows into a working, loving romance, until a sad bump in the road causes Sandy to panic about their future and break it off--an agonized reaction understandable given the circumstances, but which feels by that time very much like breaking up a happy, well-adjusted family. A few years intervene before they run into each other again, with both parties having grown and progressed in their own lives. Sandy has been promoted, and Aram has (entirely consistent with his character) adopted a son during his word travels. It seems that perhaps the timing is finally right--not least because the attraction between them is still palpable. Neither has been wallowing in misery since the break, but they are delighted to see each other. It's nice to see a romance that doesn't declare life impossible without a partner (for either party), but gets across very nicely that love is vitally important, something to be hoped for and invited in, not turned away, and to recognize it when it offers itself. At a mere 95 minutes, I felt they wasted far too much time with Aram's unnecessarily repugnant "friend" from the coffee shop and a truly disgusting first date for Sandy. The comedy inserted to qualify this as a rom-com was badly done. Although we could certainly see how Sandy was desirable to Aram (Jones is gorgeous, and her character is succeeding at life despite the trauma of divorce), it might have been nice to see her character fleshed out a little bit more. Overall, despite it feeling mismatched and annoying at several points, the two principals worked well together and I enjoyed watching them fall in love. I found I wanted them both to be happy whether or not they stayed together, and was pleased with the ending. This movie could certainly have been better, but when you're in the mood for a gentle romance about grownups, you could certainly do worse.
