MLDinTN how inventive...Not! This movie was so stereotypical. Alec Baldwin plays rich publishing editor, Archie Knox, whom has lots of exs, a daughter that won't talk to him and he's an alcoholic. Brett is an upcoming editor and so is awe struck with Archie. She meets him at a book signing of one of his authors. She realizes her boyfriend is too childish for her, so dumps him and takes up with Archie, whom's twice her age. The age difference is very creepy. And of course Archie has his problems, mainly with drinking and you know how that will end. A side plot involves Brett's father whom is sick. There really wasn't much too it.FINAL VERDICT: Not worth seeing.

barbecuedbanana I like Alec Baldwin. I am a woman of a 'certain age' so for me he is extremely attractive and I would happily sit and watch him for an hour or so no matter what he was doing. Just as well in this film.Poor SMG was unbelievable. Who chose her wardrobe? They must have really really hated her. One fun game to play is to observe how each outfit gets more and more frumpy and unflattering as the movie continues. Completely unflattering colours, wrong shapes for her body, necklines that made her look fat. How did they do that? She is frighteningly thin and they still made her look plump and dowdy with fussy necklines and clothes which had waistlines giving her the appearance of a dumpy old middle aged lady. I watched this on a girl's night in with a friend and we were convulsed with laughter as the horrific 'unfashion' parade unfolded.The character was so insensitive and bratty - I can't understand why the suave older man would have been attracted to her other than for a one night stand. She whinged and tantrummed constantly. I thought it was going to turn into a psychological drama and we would find out he had been molesting his daughter and had 'issues' in a Lolita type way.That might have given the film more depth. There was certainly that kind of vibe about the piece.

jmdforsmg Im outraged this got a straight to DVD release, i thought it was a lot cuter, funnier and more dramatic that a lot of the crappy wide released Rom-Com's.Sarah Michelle Gellar and Alec Baldwin work very well both giving strong performances. Sarah who hasn't done a Rom-com since Simply Irresistible (which I loved) was great and was a complete scene stealerIf your looking for a nice little romantic comedy/drama with a little bit of a difference don't give it another thought and pick it up. You feel like shouting shalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala once you see it

semper03 This movie rates a whopping 3 stars because I like SMG. In addition to that no one fell down and I could understand all of the dialogue. Besides that, it was easily the worst movie I have seen in a long, long time. The acting compared to a bad high school play and the music was poorly selected. Music is supposed to add to the movie and bring everything together. However, it was loud and never seemed to blend into the story. Perhaps that was because there was no story. The "story" is about a 24 year old woman (yeah right, try 30+) with daddy issues who can't get ahead in the novel editing business, who meets an overpaid legend in the field. He is only 26 years older than her and is possibly the most boring man in the history of books (and that says a lot). For some reason, that is never explained, she falls in love with him. Then it goes into the classic, boy screws up and loses girl, girl questions judgment, boy wins back girl, blah, blah, blah. We've seen this before in every other romantic comedy ever made. Oh, but I almost forgot; there is no comedy. The only difference in the story are his grandpa like qualities. Frankly, it was more disturbing that it was romantic. For having such large actors, it was extremely disappointing. It was filled with forced humor, fake crying and bad "Frasier" style white words on a black background scene transitions. The difference was that it worked in "Frasier."This movie was about as exciting as watching an intense game of pong. Stay away at all costs. Do something more productive with your time like having a deep conversation with your mother in law.
