In complete contrast to the well-made but deeply disturbing Amin film I saw yesterday morning, this piece of disposable fluff made a welcome change. It helps that Diane Lane and John Cusack are two of the more appealing potential leads for a movie (unless one is a teenager); their search for new partners after messy divorces could have only one happy outcome here after overcoming various obstacles. While I would have preferred a slightly sharper script, it was nice to view a movie that admitted that there is life after forty. The picture was blessed with an attractive supporting cast, with the possible exception of Dermot Mulroney as Cusack's love rival, and the doggies were also good value. Sometimes an unmessage-laden subject and a complete lack of special effects is just what the doctor ordered to ensure a good night's sleep.
