April 7, 2008I guess this is an OK movie. It examines the relationships of four friends - women who are in their 40's and managing their relationships with various levels of success.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

June 19, 2006Poignant, Excellently Acted and Often Hilarious while it lasts, but the ending is a bit disappointing. Worth seeing, but with reservations.
