Infuriating... Until it Improves. Somewhat.

Nathan doesn't get a pass, yet this overall gives him one.

Rose continually lambasts herself and her "misses" in the relationship but he does little introspection at all.

We have to stop allowing cheaters an "out." Or say that they were naively driven into another person's bed without their implicit say-so and cooperation.

Especially an affair that lasts a year.

This is a movie bound to give anyone with trust issues reason to be convinced their distrust is warranted.

Can't trust your friends, can't trust your husband, yet still somewhat yearning for another disappointing love far more wistfully than he deserves.

Rose couldn't have been more classy but today's woman wouldn't have. And, in my opinion, she shouldn't be. No one gets to blow up your life because they can't keep it in their pants.

Full stop.

Don't be disappointed by the title

Christine Lahti gives a marvellous performance moving from being unable to cope, to adapting her life and she has the viewer cheering her all the way .

Brian Kerwin as her errant husband is suitably pathetic , dithery, useless and unattractive compared to charismatic Brian Brown.

I watched this film being rather disappointed by the title which seemed to bear little resemblance to it ; but don't be . The final scenes will explain everything that it is about .And her philosophy , at the end , in one sentence sums the film .After questioning the title throughout I found myself smiling at how Id been lead and at the outcome .

It's payback time for this middle-aged woman..

Christine Lahti shines as a middle-aged professional woman who feels like she's been hit by a train when her husband announces he's leaving her. Not only that... he's leaving her for the younger, prettier, perkier woman who happens to be her assistant! Lahti is devastated but somehow manages to laugh through her tears as she thinks back on the signs of marital woe that she missed. Thank goodness she has support from her best friend, her 2 kids, and her mother. Things at first go from bad to worse for her, but then there is a silver lining, a wonderful revenge scene involving her boss --- and a man from her past, to help her pick up the pieces of her shattered life. Highly recommended for all gals over 40!!

Sunday evening movie

Enjoyable movie for a quiet Sunday evening. A male confesses to his wife that he's in love with her younger co-worker and protege. Helped by brains, family and friends, the woman copes with the situation and becomes stronger. Good play of Christine Lahti in the leading role, wonderful play of the couple's daughter. We can consider this movie not necessarily a drama, although the basic idea is a couple splitting up, but a comedy, since the puerile dialog between the man and the woman gives us a good laugh. And I'm not really sure if the producers wanted it this way. This isn't a movie to remember, although there are a few memorable quotes, that one cannot find in much higher rated movies.

Witty and Fresh

This movie is very clever in making light of an ugliness that is all too common.

I can't imagine another actress pulling this off in the roll of Rose. She is perfect!

The only chink (can you still say chink?) in the armor is the actress playing the part of the tart assistant Mindy. She is supposed to be half of Roses' age so she should be around 25. This actress is clearly well north of 35 with all the trimmings, plastic surgery, overly botoxed lips, etc.

The writing is funny and very well timed.
