James Gandolfini changes tact from his usual macho roles in this one. He is a delight to watch and proves what a sad loss to the movie industry he was. Never twee, but a charming tale around the dynamics of two mature adults falling in love again after each having a failed marriage. The script is very natural (I suspect some ad libbing in places) and the acting faultless.
The dialogue is witty and intelligent. Julia Louis-Dreyfus and James Gandolfini are totally natural and convincing. The film is well constructed and there is nothing superfluous or dull.
Some ok dialogue but the slushy ending confirms an underlying daytime tv feel to the whole film.
James Gandolfini is good, as ever, but Julia Louis-Dreyfus just comes across as annoying, and the big plotline about her friendship with her new lover's ex-wife is stretched way too far.
Watchable enough but immediately forgettable.
