Nothing more than a simple digest form of a middle-aged couple refinding love, I would suggest not seeing this unless you enjoy the safety of cliche and prediction. This movie has no depth to it. The actors are famous (Diane Lane, Richard Gere), but I think the movie wants to float on the actors' reputations alone, and it does not work.

This film has the requisite soap opera motifs of appearances in fashion, home decor, and language -- and scenes including a first kiss, the night they get drunk and go "wild", the one rebellious kid and the one good kid, etc. I almost barfed.

I'll give the movie a few points for the scenery and the inclusion of James Franco.
