User Reviews

A well made movie, from a despicable concept.

The movie may have been well done, but epitomizes a subtle double standard in relationships (I'll point out at the end). These characters are all to common now in my country. The shallow juvenile characters who refuse to grow up or even act their age, and then pass on that legacy to their children by becoming their lovers. Two hot actresses(and good ones I might add) to play the "cougars" and some young virile metro sexual men to play their boy toys. This movie I can see as a fantasy scenario for real life people who have difficulty coming to terms with aging, so entertaining from that perspective surely. Even the dialogue is on par with how relationships like these transpire in real life.

Have to side with FrostyChud on this one. I'd say read his review, for I will only add this. Let's imagine a situation where its not older women but older men doing the same thing. Hopefully that will get the point across.
