Surely those who gave it 1 were either deceived from expectations, or a little too stuck in the Hollywood receipt.Granted, it's not a well made film. Slow pace, not constant, the script goes like my cat's eye balls after I twisted him for 10 seconds on the floor. But what makes it pleasant for a relaxed watching, is the 'realistic' situations/discussions/sayings. It's the kind of film that makes you say, hey we/I did the same, remember? Light, very light girls comedy/romance film, Michelle plays OK and sometimes we think she's acting from her own life experience.So why bashing something that's not that bad. Relax on the sofa with a huge hot chocolate and give it a watch with 0 expectations.

Hey studio. Are you out of your minds? You released this direct to DVD? ( I read that, anyway) This was a great romantic comedy. Everyone was a standout. Fun and touching. Loved Michelle and Rudd. I'm a little sick of Rudd because of his current vehicles, but he was excellent in this. They made a great, believable couple. The daughter, now in Hanna, is ...what?...can't use great again...fine, great. Took over her part.One of the best films of any kind I've seen this year. And I see many. Found this by accident when I was looking up Hanna on Rotten Tomatoes and this was mentioned. Good find.Thanks for making me laugh..(and tear up a little.)

That is what i would have titled this movie. I could not bring myself to rent something that references "be your woman" It seemed so Tarzan/Jane like. But it came on cable and I settled down with not too high expectations.I was pleasantly surprised. First, the plot had much more to it than a May/December romance. The relationship between the mother, Pfieffer and her daughter, Roan, was equally important, and delightful. Enjoyed how much of the Mother's career was involved. And the anti-hero goofy charm of Rudd was fun. Lots of good lines and funny scenes. However, there was a lot of odd stuff that did not fit together. Though I enjoyed Lovitz role as the ex-husband/father, I could not imagine him married to MP. I love quirky Tracey Ullman, but her role as Mother Nature was awkward and just confused the theme of the movie. Was the motto that you can fight Mother Nature- while at the same time the movie mocked all our attempts to do so? In the end it seemed to glorify youth after all. The script gave little attention to the falling in love part of the romance between Pfeiffer and Rudd- what made him hit on her right out of the box? They always seemed a little awkward together to me. The best part was the role of the daughter. Ronan hit it right on the mark and was delightful. It is worth it just to hear her version of "Ironic" near the end of the movie.

This is one of the best romantic comedies i have seen lately. Taking in count that Pfeiffer was 47 when she did this movie, she really DOES have the body of a 29 year old (or maybe someone younger).Anyway, this is of one of the subjects that happens in real life every day. It is normal for an older man to fall for a younger gal, but what happens when the younger one is the man???MOthernature scenes were not that good anyway, I would definitely without a doubt be with someone like Pfeiffer's character in the movie...MIAM!
