Sandy's a beautiful, smart, 40-year-old mother (CATHERINE ZETA-JONES - CHICAGO). When she discovers her husband is cheating, she leaves him and takes her two children to New York to start over. She employs a male nanny called Aram (JUSTIN BARTHA- THE HANGOVER). He's 25-years-old. And cute. It's not long before the chemistry clicks and the two of them fall for each other. But is this just a rebound or could it be the real deal...?
Ok, so how stereotypical does this sound? Hands up who knows how this is going to end, right?
Thanks to the wonderful bevvy, I attended the preview at the Vue West End tonight. Hdaniel82 was there too, and she had acutally won a hotel room to go with it! Anyway, there was a free bar which we all enjoyed, then we settled down in the last row, after moving twice due to tall people in front.
I am a sucker for rom-coms but was a bit sceptical at first as I am not Catherine Zeta-Jones' biggest fan, and she was portrayed as this slightly neurotic mother of two who discovers her husband is cheating on her so relocates with her kids to the Big Apple and finds a new job and a flat literally within minutes. Erm...
But you know what, I loved it. OH loved it. hdaniel82 and her OH loved it. It was just so funny and warm, and how gorgeous is Justin Bartha? Blue eyes, huge smile, good with kids... The kids were very funny, Aram's mother looked like Janet Street Porter, and as for that scene in the women's defence class...
And yes I know the film won't set the world on fire, it's not groundbreaking or anything but it just leaves you with a warm and fuzzy feeling, and in my case, with wet eyes, when they met again in the restaurant and he said [spoiler]"I am 30."[/spoiler] AWWWW
8.5/10 and a solid 8/10 from hdaniel82!
Well if it's that good, I must make the effort to go.
