If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This film is about a separated woman who is approaching forty years old, finding a renewed surge of excitement in her love life while vacationing in Hawaii."Flirting With Forty" may have a predictable plot, but it is well executed from beginning to end. The female lead, Heather Locklear, is convincing as a woman who needs a relationship after a failed marriage. The male lead, Robert Buckley, is very good looking and charming. He is also convincing as a bright and cheerful surfer who knows how to enjoy life. The ups and downs of their relationship are portrayed well, especially the up parts. The scenery is amazing, and production is good too. In short, "Flirting With Forty" is a great romantic comedy that deserves more attention.

Heather Locklear and I go way back, to about 1986. No, we have never met, but I recall having a poster of her on my cubicle wall at work back then. She was a 20-something starlet, promoting some sort of fitness business, I forget which. But I never forgot Heather. In fact my wife and I have a running joke, if Heather Locklear ever shows up at my front door, asking for me, then I have permission to run off with her!I suppose with a not-so-hidden vanity motive on her part, Heather Locklear, who is rapidly approaching 50, plays Jackie Laurens, about to turn 40, in this TV movie. She is divorced, with children, and a successful decorator in Denver. But she has no man in her life. To take away the sting of turning 40, her best friend presents her with two tickets and hotel reservations to Hawaii, for both of them to go and enjoy the vacation, and do whatever single women do there.Vanessa Williams as Kristine is her friend, but as they meet up in the airport terminal Kristine tells her of a family emergency, she can't go, but Jackie is to go ahead and enjoy the trip. She sets out alone.After being hit upon rather quickly by an orthodontist at a conference, she is rescued by Robert Buckley as Kyle Hamilton who recognizes what is going on. He is a 27 year old beach bum and surfer instructor, which Jackie immediately recognizes is way too young for her. But she cannot resist his charms and they hook up anyway.Thinking this was just to be a one-nighter Jackie is surprised when Kyle shows up over and over, and they begin a very improbable relationship. He doesn't seem to be bothered at all by their age differences.The movie isn't great and the acting is just adequate, but I enjoyed it for Heather Locklear. I don't even mind that she played a character almost 10 years younger than her real age. She looks pretty good for almost 50!

The older woman with a younger guy syndrome. Of course, when her husband falls for a younger girl, this is perfectly all right. This seems to be the norm in society.While on vacation, Jackie, (Locklear) falls for a younger guy, a surf instructor. Her friends back at home try to dissuade her from such a relationship. Even her former husband, who is living with a younger girl, has his criticisms as well. There are 2 children involved.When you think of it, this is really an updated version of 1955's "All that Heaven Allows," with Jane Wyman and Rock Hudson. Of course, that was far superior because of the likes of Janie and Rock and the marvelous supporting cast of Jacqueline de Wit, the town's vicious gossip and Wyman friend, Agnes Moorehead.A lot of these films have the same common denominator. While there shall be an understanding at the end, the husband loses his new girlfriend.

OK, so I don't buy this flirting idea with Heather Locklear, but the premise of the movie is there, and she was the only reason that I tuned in to watch this film (that, and the fact there was nothing else on the tube).Locklear stars as a recently-divorced woman who is about to turn forty and her best friend hooks her up with a trip to the Islands for a little Holiday getaway, which turns into a May-December romance (well, OK, she's only September). Once again, love is given a chance in a long distance relationship, even though her children, her friends, her ex-husband (who's dating a woman just as young as the one Locklear is dating), and her common sense tell her something completely different from what her heart is saying.You know, this isn't a bad movie, but plot is a little overdone. I think we all hope that love can overcome any obstacles, which I believe is the message of this movie, but I can't help think about the saying, "50 is the new 40," when it comes to this movie, because Locklear is WAY beyond the "39 and holding" age. Maybe it's just because I remember seeing her in "TJ Hooker" with William Shatner when she still carried her baby-fat in her face.3 out of 10 stars.
