An American romantic comedy about how love matures in people at any age, no matter what the circumstances. The leading couple (Diane Keaton & Jack Nicholson) played really well and convincingly and there was real chemistry between them. Plus the music was amazing the whole movie. And if the running time was half an hour shorter, I wouldn't hesitate to give it 5*. But I still found it very entertaining - especially the "naked" scene and the "crying depression after a breakup".

The film relies on the presence of two great names in American cinema. Granted, Nicholson can still exude charisma and Diane Keaton shows that one can age gracefully, without excessive plastic surgery, and still have spark and charm. The problem is they cannot carry the film on their own, and it needed a script prescribing quality dialogue and clever well-targeted humor. There are very few genuinely funny scenes, and they exhaust their potential quite quickly, at the latest halfway through the film. To top it all off, the film has the most banal happy ending in the spirit of classic Hollywood. Overall impression: 45%. (2014.02.20)

A feel-good, heartwarming romantic comedy with the pleasant Diane Keaton and again a similar and equally incredibly funny satire by Nicholson. In addition, the beautiful Amanda Peet once again, an atypical role for Reeves, and all of this in a story that truly looks "like real life" unlike many others. Symbolically, the best scene for me is when the restaurant guests are amazedly looking at Harry and his young girlfriend while he just spreads enjoyable smiles all around. (2006.04.30)

I saw Jack Nicholson's name in the programme for this film, so I didn't hesitate and sat impatiently at the screen for a long time before it started. I liked the first half a lot, Master Jack gives his typically excellent performance almost beyond his limits and the film has a nice and fast flowing plot. Also, Diane Keaton is a great actress and contributes a lot to the successful comedy side of things. But then, the director seems to have suddenly run out of ideas, the humour is still present at times, but it’s not as effective and entertaining as it was at the beginning, and the story rather plods through the prolonged romantic scenes until the closing credits. Too bad, had it kept the quality and high pace of the first half, this comedy would have been rated better for sure. (2011.05.13)

They say Nicholson is retiring from acting, so why not remind yourself of his genius today? An enjoyable romantic movie that comes across laid-back, calm and real. Diane Keaton literally shines, Jack plays a good second fiddle here. At the end I realized that I saw the end once before, without the beginning and the middle, hmh. (2013.09.06)
