An aging professional (Michelle Pfeiffer) with little luck in love has finally found a fitting companion in the form of a much younger man (Paul Rudd). As her relationship threatens to move beyond something simply physical, her adolescent daughter (Saoirse Ronan) begins to wonder if the strange tingling sensation that she feels when she's in the company of a handsome local boy could possibly be the thing grown-ups refer to as "love." Of course anything is possible when Mother Nature (Tracey Ullman) is up to her old mischief, and with higher powers at play there's no telling what will come of the relationships experienced by these two love-starved souls. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Joe Leydon, Variety
A desperately unfunny mix of tepid showbiz satire and formulaic romantic comedy.
-
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
It's much better than a lot of the stuff playing in theaters.
-
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
It's a pleasant diversion -- an enjoyable romantic comedy that has enough going for it to make it worth a recommendation.
-
Holly Grigg-Spall, Film4
As an older woman who has built her career on a keen understanding of youth culture, she [Director Amy Heckerling] has a lot to say about Rosie's small world.
-
Nathaniel Rogers, Film Experience
a rather ignominious defeat for a "comeback" performance from one of the great stars
