A good movie

Even though this movie doesn't seem to have a good reputation, I still enjoyed it. The point is that my wife is 11 years older than me so I was really pleased to watch a movie which actually dealt pretty well with the subject (the fact that I have a weak spot for romantic-comedies might have helped as well). Still, I have to admit it, the whole thing was rather flawed. The first thing that bothered me is that even though there was supposedly a gap of 14 years between the characters, in real life, the gap between Uma Thurman and Bryan Greenberg was just of 8 years. I know, it is a small detail but, as a result, when watching the movie, you never get the feeling that there is such a huge age difference between those two characters which undermined the impact of the plot. Furthermore, I didn’t care much about the sub-plot involving a mistaken identity (Uma Thurman is seeing a psychiater played by Meryl Streep who happens to be the mother of her new toyboy). I mean, Meryl Streep was quite brilliant but this other plot was rather underwhelming. Finally, I was disappointed that they didn’t end up together at the end, I’m still with my wife so why couldn’t they overcome those obstables as well?. In spite of these flaws, I still liked this movie. Indeed, the actors were pretty good and, above all, this relationship was really well written and some scenes and dialogs were just pitch perfect. To conclude, even though it is nothing amazing, I think it is actually pretty good and it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
