This is Meryl Streep month for me. I happen to love the woman. She is a wonderful actress like a chameleon takes many shapes, forms and colors. Talented and personable, the woman lacks little in the star department.
This story is about a divorced mother of three who becomes her x-husband’s mistress. The shenanigans and trouble she gets herself into make for hilarity. Most definitely a woman’s movie. The scenes where she shares with her friends her intimate affairs are authentic and realistic for most of us women.
The story line is simple yet engrossing as she tries to manage her feelings for the old which could never be reclaimed to the new that she should allow growth. It is a smartly written story with wit and clever twist.

Not only do I give it a four stars but I also own the DVD. Go get one! Make your wife happy. Make yourself happy women!
