The whole movie is good. But the main actor's got something missing. I think his manish got all taken away for his role & somehow, dun know if it's his voice or it's his acting, not as convince as the main actress! She's amazing!

Loved it, might buy this for rainy days. The story was good and I really liked Justin Bartha's character. Funny, sad and smart. A good 90mins on the couch.

Saying goodbye to serious roles, Catherine Zeta-Jones plays her character fantastically in this light hearted rom-com. The storyline isn't so cliche that it's boring, but isn't so out there as to render it not believable. Great film!

Catherine was surprisingly good. Of course she can attract any man, young or old!...she's gorgeous at any age (sure didn't look 40). Light and frothy viewing.

Loved the movie. It made me feel good. Very entertaining. Explored a May-December love story which is kind of different and new.

A suprisinlgy good movie for a chick flick. I expected it to be predictable and something that I had seen before but it had a good balance of reality and feel good while remaining entertaining. I also didn't pick the ending which had a bit of a twist from the "happily ever after ending" of similar type movies. I really enjoyed this movie and could easily watch it again and enjoy it. Worth the time.

A fairly predictable film but has a certain feel-good factor. Not a huge CZJ fan ordinarily but she wasn't too annoying- the kids were cute and Justin was just as big a kid!!

Typical, predictable movie that completely died in the arse in the last 10-15 minutes. Even if you havn't seen it, you have already seen it...Its just like all the other movies, but with a worse ending.

I watched it because Catherine Zeta Jones was in it, but was disappointed. The ending left me wondering "is that it?"

I liked the story line of the movie, but.....it was really, really dull. Justin Bartha was boring, I love Catherine Zeta-Jones normally, but not in this role, and the chemistry between the two lacked. I was disappointed in the movie. Only just 2 stars from me.

A different take on the typical RomCom movie but very enjoyable and easy to watch with even my partner watching it all the way through and enjoying it! Very nice ending ending that differs from your typical fall in love/break up/get back together kind of ending. Some good laughs in there as well.

Sweet story, but unfortunately Catherine Zeta Jones, whilst an adequate performance, not the right person in the lead role for this one. Pleasant movie, just not outstanding.

Am I the only one who was offended by this movie? Does no one else have a problem with the fact that these two children, with newly divorced parents, must now deal with a mother who's only concern seems to be finding another man? The scene which the other viewers found so funny and laudable; that of Jones' character beating up the heavily padded "attacker," was particularly offensive to me. So, a woman's proper response to rude remarks from a man is kick him in the testicles? Was the language and behavior of Jones' character really appropriate for her children to observe? What about the other children present in the class? The instructor's racist remarks to the attendees were just icing on the cake. This movie, from the offensive tagline: "She's still got it. He's just getting it" to the insulting and deluded writing, stinks like week old cod. If you value your time, you will avoid it.

I thought it was a easy watching romantic comedy that was fun. Pretty good but not something I would watch over and over Catherine Zeta Jones plays a recently seperated mum with kids who is looking for fun and romance as well as balance in her life when the young babysitter comes along and sweeps her off her feet.

This was a fun movie with a happy ending - we don't watch movies that end badly and are depressing. We like to feel uplifted when the movie ends. The goodies must win.

A disjointed mess. I didn't mind the beginning half of the movie. However the ending and end sequence seemed like a whole other movie. This movie made me think that CZJ is a bad actress. The child actors seemed to out act her. Not worth it.

This was an easy to watch, entertaining movie about a newly separated 40yr old women with two children who move to the city and 'a cougar' style story line, after a pregency scare the couple decide the age difference is too big a problem and go their separate ways only to meet again several years later and find their feelings haven't changed. Not a exciting film but does have some very funny scenes.

I'm sorry guys.....Total drivel.. Extremely bad match up with with the 2 main characters! Could NOT see these 2 together at all...Nothing in common for starters! I didn't see the chemistry... and the premise that this relationship was suppose to be just a rebound that turned into something more was as insult to any intelligent, thinking person! Watch it if you have nothing else to do...but not credible at all!

Enjoyable movie and thought Catherine Zeta-Jones was great. Not one to write home about and wasn't sure about the amount of chemistry between the two main characters but a nice movie for a night at home when the rain is pouring and you'd rather not go out!
