Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Clueless director Amy Heckerling returns to her position behind the camera for the first time in six years with this romantic comedy contrasting the age disparity romance of an older divorcée with the spring butterflies that her daughter experiences upon falling in love for the very first time. An aging professional (Michelle Pfeiffer) with little luck in love has finally found a fitting companion in the form of a much younger man (Paul Rudd). As her relationship threatens to move beyond something simply physical, her adolescent daughter (Saoirse Ronan) begins to wonder if the strange tingling sensation that she feels when she's in the company of a handsome local boy could possibly be the thing grown-ups refer to as "love." Of course anything is possible when Mother Nature (Tracey Ullman) is up to her old mischief, and with higher powers at play there's no telling what will come of the relationships experienced by these two love-starved souls. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

| I am so happy to notice this fun film among Erin Donovan's end-of-year list on the Best Films About Women. It certainly deserved a release rather than a straight-to-video dump, and now I wish I had read the Entertainment Weekly piece that Erin mentions. In any case, do your self a favor (even some of you guys) and take a look at this one -- if only to see Paul Rudd give one of his best performances ever. The guy is usually terrific, but here he is so loose and funny and real, he wipes the floor with just about everybody else in sight. |
