Saw this movie, on a lazy saturday afternoon, munching on lays and some Maggi.
It is a different take, as far as romantic comedies go.
Meryl Streep, acts as a Shrink, who lives a strict, conservative Jewish life. Her son, whose life seems to be suppressed, is caught in the daily trials of living a Jewish life and the Great American dream. Uma Thurman, has recently been divorced, lives the life of a model producer, in sexy Manhattan and is looking for love, and surprisingly, finds it with a 23 year old. I won't reveal the plot here.
If you're a perspective movie-watcher , you'd like the movie. Uma Thurman's visits her shrink, and like all people, she loves to go in great detail, about every aspect of her monotonous, sad life. Well, and the poor shrink has to just humour her. And she does. She does a perfectly good job at it. Bryan Greenberg, is a young boy, who falls head over heels with Uma Thurman, when he meets her at a disco, she's his dancing queen. Well, he calls her up, they meet for dinner. She lets go, they kiss in the garden, while they discuss their age. And well, Kaboom! they are in a relationship. Brilliant, ain't it? Yes. She lets herself go, for a little bit of fun. And well, her Shrink leads her on. Everything is fine, Amazing sex, Amazing conversations despite the 14 year old difference. Boy 23, Girl 37. Well, mid life crisis, isn't bothering her so much. But, she isn't giving this relationship her all, that's her problem. She keeps asking her Shrink, if she's doing the right thing. Meryl Streep on the other hand, is caught in two different worlds, and she has to fight her own war, and she does it beautifully well(Man, I just love this woman!). David, learns and discovers himself. Uma, has a wonderful rebound period. And Meryl, she gets along, and life goes as planned for her, just the realisation changes her completely, maybe we all are learning.Thats what life is, an incredible experience!
I had fun, watching this movie. But, I writhed once. But it goes alright, something like "Little Children". But, I guess, America has much more mature thinking going around, than what they make us believe, but they do have their own share of Miss South Carolina's too.
Who are we to judge, some of my best directors come from the US. I am not complaining.
P.S: The point is, you watch the movie or not, it will just give u a peek in the life of those celebrities who are dating older women, and what their life could be like. Meaningful or just plain fun? Well, you decide.
