A
middle aged divorcee receives tips on how to objectify women from a young, hip go-getter, who subsequently falls in love with the divorcee's daughter.
Superficial, sexist, misogynistic, materialistic, disingenuous
rom-com bollocks with a good cast given average dialogue. Â
Julianne Moore is probably the most realistic character in the
entire film, the rest of them epitomise everything shallow about 21st century lifestyle and mannerisms. There's some cute physical chemistry between Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, but their
characters aren't well written enough to make you really care about their relationship and whether they end up together.
Crazy, stupid nonsense.
