Loved the actors. Great story. But would be better if it was an 18, if you get what I'm saying

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!

Alice (Reese Witherspoon) is separated with two young daughters. They live in her late filmmaker father's LA home. Her friends take her out for her 40th birthday. Alice meets Harry with his friends George and Teddy. They go back to her house and pass out. Next morning, her mother Lillian (Candice Bergen) unexpectedly shows up with her daughters. The boys are fans of Lillian and her late father. They are amateur filmmakers themselves trying to sell their script. Lillian convinces Alice to invite the boys to stay. Her estranged husband Austen (Michael Sheen) discovers the house guests and promptly returns to stake his claim. A budding romance blooms between her and the 27 year old Harry.The problem here are the three dudes. They lack charisma which leaves their side of the story severely lacking. It doesn't help that the other side has award winning Witherspoon and Sheen. I almost wondered if the three actors are actually the dudes who made this movie. At last no, it's new filmmaker Hallie Meyers-Shyer, daughter of Nancy Meyers. There isn't anything wrong with the script or necessarily anything outrageously right. It is a functional formulaic rom-com premise. It just needs a better male lead to make it work.
