But I had it available for free as part of a Cinemax subscription on Verizon FiOS, so thought I would watch a little anyhow because I usually really like stuff Michelle Pfeiffer and Tracey Ullman are in. I agree with everything you wrote. It is a delightful film. I don't like the title, however. Although the story line is about an older woman/younger man affair, I thought that other themes were stronger and more interesting. I'm thinking mainly about the film's commentary on the older generation trying to look and act younger. The opening credits are superimposed on photos of plastic surgery. Also, they could have used a title reflective of the conflict between scripted and reality TV. Or perhaps reflective of the need for writers to stay in touch with the youth culture to which the network is trying to appeal. Also, I thought the opening scene (the camera flying over forest, sea and tropical paradise) was too long simply to introduce Mother Nature. It didn't really fit the movie and is something that I've seen as intros to too many other movies recently. Some people who commented on this film were calling it terrible.
