Mindy Quinn (Teri Hatcher) is turning 50 and having a mid-life crisis. She's been divorced for two years. Her daughter Rita dropped out of med school and is marrying Emily. Her friend Nathalie tells her to feel her feelings, and that's when Sam Berman (James Tupper) notices her. He's actually her high school boyfriend and Emily's uncle.
I had little expectations for this. Of course, I wanted to see some Teri Hatcher with James Tupper. I expected a bit of bland TV romance, but this is even less than that. Her objection with the proposal is light weight and frustrating. I really need more heat from the romance. It doesn't help that Marc isn't a hunkier guy. There's no chance to develop into a real love triangle. This is a mid-life crisis. It needs some funny attempts at youthful indiscretions. It barely even has that. Maybe the big lead names heightened my expectations under the radar.
