ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

cyberguru-1 Being a faithful fan of Helen Hunt I'm hurting.Firstly, her charm: mostly absent, replaced with this concerned, suffering look we typically see in Meryl Streep's roles.Secondly, her aging: somehow many scenes portray HH as an old woman. Was it intentional? Perhaps, considering that pool of film professionals, who do transformations of characters. However, I fail to see reasons for such decision.Finally, I was permitted to remain under the impression that the whole justification for making this movie was for HH to be around younger men. Some kind of a "trophy role".I would be happier to see other reviews and points of view that would make me drop that hurting.

silversalver I am a huge fan of Helen Hunt and I loved the cast member list when I chose to watch it on Netflix. I tried four times to get through it but had to hit fast forward finally, the last time, so I could just get an idea of how it ended. This is probably the only movie of hers that I felt like she was stifled, holding back and underplaying her talent. I just want to ask WHY would this appeal to her? Maybe the script was much better, but this was quite possibly the most dry, long, drawn out, movie I have tried to watch in a very long time. The only redeeming quality in it was the cast members. I've seen her friend and limo driver in Dexter and he's great.

debvee60 I viewed this movie from the standpoint of a parent of an adult child as is the main character, Jackie. In my view this is what the story is about, how a parent lets go and enjoys watching her child make their way as an adult. In doing so, she is able to move on to becoming a more authentic person as well. I've always been a fan of Helen Hunt and although her appearance has changed, she still brings us her ability to make us feel we are watching a woman bravely dealing with what life is bringing her way. The film present a great contrast between their lives in New York and California. The son, Angelo, travels to CA to visit his dad. I'm a little surprised at how quickly the son, Angelo, adapts to the different lifestyle. Luke Wilson as Jackie's love life is a good match. His calmness contrasting with her franticness plays well.

Bailey Prior (bpspilled) I had two roommates who went to film school. I always went to the student screenings with them and a flask of Vodka to play the film student drinking game. Rule number one was take a drink if the movie showed someone peeing. Rule #2 if the movie starts with someone peeing drink 5 shots. I would have been wrecked if this was a student film. And it really felt like one.This movie gave me a head ache after about 10 minutes. I don't think 10 minutes in the whole movie went by without an argument that brought nothing to the story. I kept going hoping there would be some great surfing sequences but even those were hard to get through. The romantic connections in the film were contrived at best. The one shot that did totally crack me up was Helen Hunt's character trying to swim without getting her hair wet at the beginning but I realized it was a little too much her and not her character.Anyway, stick to acting Helen.
