I love Sharon Stone. I was in the mood for a movie today, this one popped up some where so I said what the heck and purchased the rental. The concept is sweet but this is definitely not the best Sharon Stone flick I've ever seen. The plot was fairly predictable and it just didn't flow well. The whole movie felt a little disjointed throughout, especially towards the end. I think the year over year birthdays could have been presented a little bit better, maybe not so many dang. Im sorry but this movie made Sharon's character seem a little desperate and I didn't like that for her. Tony Goldwyn was believable in his role and he is cute anyways, good job there. And of course who doesn't love the quirkiness and charm of Ellen Burstyn who played her role well. I just felt like overall the movie was disingenuous. I definitely felt like the direction could have been better and the characters could have been a little more developed to improve it. Oh and the roles for Darla, Kimmy and Vanessa made me dislike them immensely. With friends like that who needs enemies? That was weird to watch. Meh, I won't call this movie a total waste of time but I definitely wouldn't watch it again. With Stone, Goldwyn & Burstyn what this movie could have, should have been...we will never know.
