Plots(1)
Sandy's (Catherine Zeta-Jones) a beautiful, sexy mother of two living the perfect suburban family life. And she's just turned 40. But Sandy's picture perfect world shatters when she discovers her husband is cheating on her. Aram Finkelstein (Justin Bartha) is a sweet, 24 year-old college graduate and a recent divorcee. And he has just found out that his cute French wife only married him to get work in the USA. Sandy packs up her two kids and moves to New York City and takes an apartment above the coffee shop where the lonely Aram works as a Barista. When she asks him to babysit the kids, it's not long before Aram is spending as much quality time with Sandy as he is with the kids and romance blossoms. But can their love for each other overcome the resistance from families; the interference of friends; the inconvenience of a non-accepting ex-husband; and of course the big elephant in the room - the 16 year age difference!

For the first time in a long time, a film that pleasantly surprised me. Catherine was indescribably divine. Justin Bartha's character perfectly set the film up where it needed to be. I'm really impressed with how the filmmakers made a non-everyday story into a non-everyday and original film. Kudos to the child actors as well... fun performances. For me number one, absolutely.

It's quite a pleasant spectacle. Nothing surprising happens in it and everything develops exactly as you expect, but thanks to the likable actors who really fit together and some really funny moments, it doesn't even matter. Moreover, I was pleased with the (sort of) open ending.
