Excellent, a Must See

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Lorna, who has recently turned 60, is a fine human being, as we can tell from her loving friends and from the way she responds to situations happy and sad. But she's lonely for a soulmate. This movie traces about a dozen episodes in her search for a cure to matelessness. Some episodes are bittersweet, some are undignified, but all are fresh and most are downright funny.I've rarely enjoyed a film as much as this one. The director finds humor in the most awkward of situations, and seeing how Lorna rebounds from one event to the next keeps us on her side and builds our admiration. The actors are really well matched to this material, remaining credible while also being comical.Compared to standard rom-coms, this movie shines, thanks to highly novel situations and to the finely tuned, very human responses of its characters.
