I already saw this movie but since it was a while back, I was quite eager to check it out again. If I'm not mistaken, Nancy Meyers is one of the most successul female directors, at least in terms of box-office results, and I have to admit that I actually have a weak spot for her work. Indeed, her first real hit was 'What Women Want', a movie which sounded terribly generic on paper but it still turned out to be actually quite entertaining and one of the better rom-coms. So, with this in mind, I had some high expectations with this follow-up which had been another hit at the box-office and, eventually, I wasnโt disappointed. Indeed, what I enjoyed the most was that Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton were just pitch-perfect in this movie and they had some great chemistry together. On top of that, these two characters were rather well written and more charismatic and entertaining than the typical boring characters you get in your average romantic-comedy. To be honest, the whole thing was probably too long but I did appreciate the fact that Harry needed some time to get used to these new feelings after all these years of being a womanizer. Anyway, to conclude, all in all, even though it was maybe nothing really groundbreaking, it was still a pretty good ย romantic-comedy and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
