    People who make films like this should be shot. Nothing this cringe-inducing should ever be inflicted upon even the most vile of humans- if it's not enough watching 3 pathetic old bitch widows whinging about their long dead husbands, just wait until one of them meets a new man an...( read more)d has forgotten the word for 'condom'. They enter into the most embarrassingly childish and pathetic relationship you will ever witness, whilst the other two widows whine and complain, and then there's a wedding (fucked if I remember whose), and widow number one bursts into tears and ruins the wedding just because she had sex the night before. If this is what women become in their late fifties, I swear I'll shoot my brains out well in time. Disgusting pile of crap that should be very ashamed of itself. Not even Christina Ricci's 8 or so minutes of screentime could salvage this one (although it did make me buy the damn film, so that says a lot for her). JUST NO!
