Review: You can call me a cynic if you want to, but I thought this was supposed to be a moving love story. Throughout the film, I found it hard to believe that Adrienne (Diane Lane) and Paul (Richard Gere) could fall so completely in love with each other. I didn't feel a connection with their characters, and that's not to say it's because they've got several decades on me. The beginning of this film was so slow that I almost shut it off. I decided to keep going for you, my loyal readers. Still, I barely made it. I didn't feel as though this film had any arch whatsoever. It was like the idea was there but the execution faltered. It took a long time coming and ended too quickly. I think this film needed a double dose of Viagra! For a better romance between an "older" couple, I'd recommend "Something's Gotta Give."

Watch It: To see Diane Lane and Richard Gere reconnect.

Skip It: If you're really looking for a good romance.
