    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.

    Flat rom com

    Well I thought that this would appeal to all of us 30 something women who may feel that a younger man is the way to go - or at least that we might laugh at the very thought. This film left me a little cold. Save for Meryl Streep its a bit of a turkey. Bryan Greenberg is very unconvincing and Uma Thurman is bland. They just don't convince me that they would even have got together in the first place let alone that they have any chance of making something happen. In essence the film hasn't got a good plot. There are some funny moments, laregly centring on Streep's comic timing. Possibly a film to watch when doing the ironing to say you have seen it - but other than that there's not a lot to recommend it.
