    Highly amusing...

    Uma Thurman and Meryl Streep both play very good roles. Basically the plot... Uma is 37 years old and falls for a young man of 23, now that in itself is not that bigger deal, now couple that with Uma's shrink, she see's her shrink (Streep) regularly to discuss her previous breakup, and begins to talk to her shrink about her new found physical love, Streep soon realises that this young lover of hers is infact her son! Shock Horror!!! So there you do have a very good basis for a very funny comedy, and yes it is amusing, you won't be rolling around in hysterics but you may well get a few chuckles. Look out for the Fryingpan Bashing Granny.

    A fun film!

    I sat down to watch this with my girlfriend with a pessimistic view. However, I actually enjoyed this! The scenes between Meryl Streep and Uma Thurman in the counselling sessions are very funny! Enjoyable file!
