When she meets an attractive young man (Rudd), she debates the merits of a May-December romance. Meanwhile, her daughter (Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan, ATONEMENT) has romantic struggles of her own, and Mother Nature (Tracey Ullman) interferes from the sidelines. [More]

As an older woman who has built her career on a keen understanding of youth culture, she [Director Amy Heckerling] has a lot to say about Rosie's small world.

a rather ignominious defeat for a "comeback" performance from one of the great stars

Very nearly an entertaining, lightweight comedy, except for one flaw: its message is about as subtle as those in a Disney sports movie.

It's smart and warm, and if Heckerling loses her grip a few times, it's only because she's squeezing so hard.

...has been infused with a distinctly over-the-top sensibility that effectively drains the proceedings of anything even resembling authenticity.

A desperately unfunny mix of tepid showbiz satire and formulaic romantic comedy.

It’s much better than a lot of the stuff playing in theaters.

It's a pleasant diversion -- an enjoyable romantic comedy that has enough going for it to make it worth a recommendation.

A direção de Heckerling é irregular e a montagem é assustadoramente descuidada, mas Pfeiffer e (especialmente) Rudd conferem charme suficiente para tornar o filme divertido.
