Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton show the young 'uns how it's done in this feel-good romantic comedy. Reuniting the stars for the first time since 1981's Reds, the film is a frothy portrayal of post-menopausal love from What Women Want director Nancy Meyers. In a role that combines sassy sophistication and emotionally flummoxed charm, Keaton shines as a divorced playwright who thinks affairs of the heart are a folly of youth, until she reluctantly nurses her daughter's ageing lover (Nicholson). Drawn to the arrogant bachelor, she's surprised to find a mutual attraction, despite his assertion he only dates women under 30. While wolfish Nicholson plays to type, it's still thoroughly enjoyable watching the duo interact. There's a life-affirming energy whenever they're on screen together, making the subplots - including Keaton's pursuit by young doctor Keanu Reeves - intrusive distractions. Though the feature drifts into sentimentality and there's scant substance beneath the heart-warming veneer, it's pleasing to see Hollywood fluff where passion has no age restriction.

When perpetually single, aging music industry exec Harry Sanborn, and his latest trophy girlfriend, Marin, arrive at her mother's beach house in the Hamptons, they find that her mother, playwright Erica Barry, also plans to stay for the weekend. Erica is scandalized by the relationship and Harry's sexist ways. But when Harry has a heart attack while there, and the doctor prescribes bedrest, his only option is to stay at the Barry home. Left in the care of Erica and his doctor, a love triangle starts to take shape.
