Lame-ish romcom set in Hollywood around a 40-ish TV producer
who falls for a younger man. Michelle Pfeiffer plays the producer, and lots of
British comedy actors appear – maybe they were a job lot. Touches on some
important issues, about the way it’s easy to fake photos, and about
relationships between people of different ages, and the denial of ageing – but
in a fairly useless and insincere way. Everyone else is fake because they are
having work done, but Michele Feiffer is just physically perfect and not heir
to any kind of mortality. Lots of philosophical crap about male-female
attraction voiced by Tracey Ullman playing the part of Mother Nature.
You can
tell how bad this is by the fact that they clips which play over the credits
are not ‘out-takes’ but what the film-makers must have decided are just the
best funny bits from the film, repeated. Mainly they weren't that funny the
first time and don’t bear repeating.
