Another film made entirely for women - it is witty, it has great humor and a lot of heart, which means it's cliché, but not brain-freezing stupid. The oh-so incredibly classy Meril Streep and the very manly Alec Baldwin seem to really get it on sexually and psychologically while playing an on-screen divorced couple who after many years apart find their second affection for each other.
It is quite a simple romantic story about love, lust, family values and our psychological goals in life.
I found this film to be very pleasant one to watch, not only because I am familiar with the performances of both of the actors in leading roles, but mostly for the simplicity and lightness of the story told throughout the film. Little do I have to add that among the director Nancy Meyers previous projects, such as 'WHAT WOMEN WANT', 'THE HOLIDAY', 'SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE' and 'FATHER OF THE BRIDE', she has developed a certain specific style of visual storytelling that simply lets the audience easily slip into the world of the characters shown on screen.
In conclusion I have to add that 'thank God' the ending was not as one would have had expected to be, but rather a profound try to make the audience stop and think about the subject of the film for a moment or two - that was a clever step to take from the directors/writers point of view.

* 'PopCornPacks' – 1 to 5 (1 being the worst and 5 being the best) & 'Drinks' – small, medium, large ('small' being worst and 'large' being better)
While the 'PopCornPacks' give an evaluation of how good or bad the movie might be, the 'Drinks' are the ones that ease the salty after-taste of the popcorn – the larger the drink the better the feeling.
