Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
grodygeek It wasn't wretched, but it just wasn't that funny and I'm a geezer with a gray beard. Sure there are amusing parts, but the two characters had the chemistry of a pebble and tepid tap water. I think Jeffrey Tambor is a fine actor, but Jill's character tries to make us believe he's rather desirable when he's rather overweight, with jowls like Droopy the dog (yes! I'm that old) and Eeyore's demeanor. Charming, I thought he might be. I also think Jill is a great actor, but was she's looking pretty anorexic these days. She was so thin in some scenes that it occurred to me that when do you see fashionable really thin women like her dating lumps of dung like him? Ah, not so much. I like seeing men of his age, dating women of her age, but these two went together like tobacco and peanut butter. Wha-wha-what? Yeah, his mother was a hoot and Earl was a nice foil, but I didn't buy Christopher being anything but a schlep. He fit the running a pest spray company well, but the jazz musician? Again, not so much.I mean I'm near their age, and I found much of the dialog, plot and characters required me to suspend all belief in the law of physics. Say it ain't true Earl? Is it worth a buck a day rental for hearing Sandy Duncan curse? Talk of sex like a whore? See! Its a stretch.
Philo_Kvetch Having been a Jill Clayburgh fan since she was being gently tugged around by her nipples in "An Unmarried Woman,' I decided to give this movie a try despite the universally awful reviews it received. Well, 1978 was then and this is now and Ms. Clayburgh's chest is thankfully kept under cover. Unfortunately, that's about the only humiliation she and the rest of the cast are spared in this unqualified disaster. In fairness to the director, he was working with a wretched screenplay but that's because Eric Schaeffer is a hack writer *and* director.The sole believable moment in this entire film is a scene where Grace (Clayburgh) berates Christopher (Jeffrey Tambor) in a restaurant. It shows what a fine actress she is and highlights how badly she is wasted in this schlock. Christopher is an exterminator who plays jazz piano at night. Yeah, right. He's basically Hank Kingsley with some piano lessons and an African American friend named Earl (Bill Duke in a thankless role). Earl is the only sane character in this bomb which makes it highly unlikely that he'd have someone like Christopher as a friend. In fact, there is no conceivable reason for anyone in this film to behave in the incredibly contrived ways they doDesperate attempts at hilarious hijinks involving a strap-on dildo and a suit of armor land with a dull thud. In a sad attempt at farce, Schaeffer has instead produced a travesty. Hopefully the title of this misbegotten mess will serve as fitting epitaph to his career. And if Jill Clayburgh needs money this bad, please advise her to lay off the crack and give me a call; I'll send her a check. Finally, we have Sandy Duncan. Yes, *that* Sandy Duncan. Talking about sex. I rest my case.
bjay726 I caught this film on a whim and was very happy I took a chance. I found it to be extremely funny and was happy to see terrific actors like Jeffrey Tambor and Jill Clayburgh in leading roles which they handled brilliantly. While the conflict proved to be predictable, it was strong and moving non-the-less. Was slightly let down by the "Night in Shining Armor" ending, but was glad for a happy outcome. It's hard enough to be over 40 and alone without depicting it as an end on film. I highly recommend this film; especially to those entering the perils of mid-life or starting over once the kids are grown up.
soopermike69 While on some levels it was very nice to see this genre take an older audience and characters as opposed to twenty-somethings, I think it was a little too much gush and not enough substantial script. It was amusing to hear a 54 year-old woman talk graphically about sex and get in amusing situations that are normally reserved for "American Pie" types, but it was too sappy and WAY too over-the top. In one scene, they are discovered by her college age daughter as they are in the middle of coupling. In another, she is trying on a "device" when Christopher and his mother come over to visit. I do not fit into what I imagine is the target audience in age. I did, however, go with some people who were: They liked it even less than me. While sweet and comedic. I would not recommend this movie to anyone. Sorry, try again. Wait. Never try... Never try again...
