Overview
A sexy, romantic comedy about modern couples coming together in funny and unexpected ways. Paul and Hannah discover that even after 40 years of marriage, they can still learn some very surprising things about each other. Meredith is a serious theatre director who isn't looking for a relationship... but has one looking for her in the person of the funny, persistent Trent. Then there's Joan and Keenan, young people searching for love in an L.A. club scene where the rules of dating seem to change every night.
I spent a lot of this movie thinking about how much I really liked it. At first I dismissed it as just another anthology movie, but as it went on I often thought that it had crossed over into “really good” territory. At its heart, the movie is about all of the different stages that we go through in relationships. The movie does feel a bit sterile and tid0 (especially the ending), but whatever. It really grew on me and I was sad when it ended.
