Alannah Ryane I will only comment here on the fact that this is one of the few DVDs I had to own because it became a delicious habit of sharing and introducing it to every one of my girlfriends. No matter how good a film is, how many times do we do that? I didn't pass the DVD on ...I watched it again with them. As most Baby Boomers who have seen this film will agree, we can relate to these characters on so many levels. It always made me laugh and cry but it also reminded me that we are not alone in searching for that one person who "gets us" hangups, issues, warts and all! Jeffrey and Jill (RIP Ms. Clayburgh you were Excellent in your field!) were absolutely amazing in this film and in my opinion this film and their performances were highly underrated.

lionel-libson-1 I had heard that Jill Clayburgh was a fine actress, but after seeing her enraptured by Tambour I realize she's a GREAT actress...the film has two or three original moments, tiny islands in an ocean of clichés.Tambour gets the Dooley Wilson Fake Piano Playing Award for using his fingers as a dust mop in the jazz club scenes.The most gratuitous moment comes in the hospital when his mother suffers a Hollywood stroke(no p-paralysis, no speech impairment)...he turns to the night nurse, pulls out a bill, and asks her to get a coffee for mom...no"excuse me", no "Are you busy?", typical Hollywood belief that others are props, with no thoughts, lives or responsibilities...speaking of which--what was Clayburgh's job? We see her chatting with a client, then she's off to the sex toy shop...

Claudio Carvalho In New York, Grace (Jill Clayburgh) and Christopher (Jeffrey Tambor) are two lonely souls of fifty and something years old. Jill has not had sex for seven years, and the straight Christopher is very insecure with his masculinity. Both of them have made a promise in the past that they would never fall in love again. When they meet each other, they have a very complicated affair and of course in the end they fall in love for each other. This irregular low budget movie explores an important theme completely disregarded by Hollywood: sex after fifty years old. The story looks like a "Sex and the City" of middle-aged women and has many good jokes and situations. The problem is the trailer released by the distributor. I saw it a couple of days ago, and it shows the best parts of the story, spoiling the funny situations. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Coisas do Amor" ("Things About Love")

poodle55 It could be a couple of things...either I'm totally off base or those people 50+ who saw the movie and say they didn't like it are in denial. It was over the top a couple of times (the dildo!) but in general, portrayed reality. Pathos, pain, love, frustration, mortality, fear...it was all there. Shame on those who aren't brave enough to admit that it portrayed some very real parts of "life."
