Product Description
An upbeat and acerbic romantic comedy with a real edge from writer /director Amy Heckerling (Clueless). Rosie (Michelle Pfeiffer), a smart, sexy and successful single mom refuses to accept that life has passed her by just because she has turned 40. Rosie stays young at heart through the love and friendship she shares with her teenage daughter (Golden Globe Nominee Saoirse Ronan, Atonement). Then talented young actor Adam (Paul Rudd) walks into her life and straight into her heart. Finally Rosie seems to have met the right man ...though he's many years her junior...but is this just one more time she'll have to say I COULD NEVER BE YOUR WOMAN?

Synopsis
In this offbeat romantic comedy, Tracey Ullman plays Mother Nature, cheerfully interfering with the lives of a woman (Michelle Pfeiffer) who falls for a younger man (Paul Rudd), while her daughter (Saoirse Ronan) struggles with her own romantic issues.

4.0 out of 5 stars Understatedly Funny- A pleasant surprise for a Blockbuster exclusive!, 12 Jun 2008
By Ms. S. C. Bidwell "bidders86" (Oxfordshire (mostly!)) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
'You're not even in your thirties!'
'Well, neither are you...'

I watched this film recently and was a little dubious regarding it not giong to the bign screen, but was really pleasantly surprised by this little gem.

Unsurprisingly, this film has an unmistakeable 'Clueless' feel to it- lots of smart, sassy quips from the writers- you'll know what I mean if you've seen Clueless, not to mention the inclusion of old-timers Paul Rudd and Stacey Dash. Having these two in the same film could have been risky, as the movie could have easily become just a Clueless reunion, but with a very witty and entertaining script, and great entertainment and on-screen chemistry from Rudd and Pfeifer, it succeeds in its own right.

Michelle Pfeifer stars as Rosie, a young at heart, vivacious screen-writer for a teens' tv programme 'You go, Girl!'. She meets Adam (Paul Rudd), when he auditions for a part. Adam is a genuine guy, wildly funny and entertaining, and makes a beeline for Rosie. Rosie, while succumbing to his charm, is ever conscious -thanks to little digs from Mother Nature (Tracy Ullman)- that she is considerably older than him. Adam won't be put off though, and even with the cunning manipulative ploys of Rosie's bitchy secretary to contend with, he's determined to show her that age doesn't really matter when it comes to love. Of course, this genre is always going to appeal to women more than men, but even my boyfriend conceded that it was 'quite good' when I forced him to watch it with me!

I can't praise Paul Rudd enough in this film- he makes the best of an opportunity to be the star, show his incredibly versatility and prove what a very, very funny guy he can be. Pfeifer is lovely, too, genuinely likeable and looking fabulous at forty, it has to be said. Saoirse Ronan (Atonement) turns out an excellent performance as Rosie's daughter Izzy, especially given her British roots. Stacey Dash and Sarah Alexander (from the English show Smack the Pony) also get a lot of laughs for their respective roles.

The only criticisms I made of the whole production was that firstly, I felt the Mother Nature story-line a but unnecessary- and Tracy Ullman's dry wit is ovwershadowed somehwat by Rudd's humour. Also, I thought the name of the film was an odd choice- 'I could never be your woman' is a bit of a mouth-full, and not really on par with waht happens in the movie. Even so, it's still a worthy film, with a great soundtrack to boot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Watch this with your teenage daughter, she'll love it!, 17 Oct 2008
By Rachel (London, UK) - See all my reviews
No great insights admittedly but I really enjoyed this film. It's light hearted with great performances from Michelle Pfeiffer and Paul Rudd and newcomer Saoirse Ronan before she made Atonement. My 13 year old daughter loves this film and really thinks the mum and daughter relationship is cool. It's a chick flick, but a really good one!

2.0 out of 5 stars not as good and funny as i thought it would be, 31 May 2008
By Ms. J. D. Jacob "Jules" (Isle of Wight) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This film is ok, but very silly and quite unrealistic. Its not that funny and quite offensive in parts. Michelle Pfeiffer's daughter does a good American accent as i think she is originally Irish but the story is just a bit silly and disappointing. It tries to be too funny and just isn't. And Tracy Ullman as Mother Nature is just really stupid and annoying. Michelle Pfeiffer looks good for her age but Paul Rudd is a bit disappointing as her love interest -hes just not funny.
