In My Opinion

I watched this movie with a good friend of mine and we both agreed that it was pretty good. Not great. Definitely NOT for children to see. It is not really your typical romantic comedy though. They put a spin on things when they made Catherine Zeta Jones' character fall in love with someone who was so much younger, and who is also the babysitter! It really does make you realize how much of an effect something like age can have on a relationship. 

I thought that some parts of the movie could be better, but Justin Bartha is a cutie patootie and I did enjoy his character a lot. The thing that did surprise me were the things that came out of the leading lady's "daughter's" mouth! The things the children in the movie said were really funny because they were so shocking. The daughter character in the movie had my friend and I chuckling quite a bit.

If you are not ok with foul language and sexual references, I would NOT recommend watching this movie.

All in all I thought this movie was pretty good. I really liked the ending and honestly thought it was the best part of the entire movie. If you are looking for a romantic comedy, I would say give this one a try.
