August 3, 2008The basic idea of the movie (a therapist counseling the woman her significantly younger son is dating) is actually pretty neat. Many movies would have tried and make a really low comedy about body fluids about it, but this film avoids most stereotypes and is actually all around s...( read more)

September 18, 2007A psychotherapist discovers her son has fallen in love with a patient. I thought it was a bit unethical for the therapist not to say something as soon as she knew but it was still a cute movie. Meryl Streep was excellent as usual and Uma Thurman is beautiful.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Once the unlikely premise is established, the movie drags on, injected with one-liners and padded with way too many complicated misunderstandings, reconciliations and breakups. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Streep's character -- a humorous blend of open-minded therapist and neurotic Jewish mother -- makes the movie worth watching. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
[Thurman's] summery radiance helps make this thin romantic comedy hard to dislike.

In its comedy of errors are actors who bring truth at least to their dialogue. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
The film drifts about, groping for its center. full review
