How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This didn't know what it wanted to be so constantly went for shock value. In the process of figuring out where it wanted to go, a stellar cast was wasted. The opening scene tried hard for a cheap laugh which pretty much set the tone for the rest of the movie. I kept waiting for the meet cute scene when the two leads would connect. The wait was excruciating as was the dialog. I stuck with it though since it doesn't matter what Bill Duke says, he has my undivided attention. Unfortunately, the more lines Tambor had, the less interesting and likable he became to me. The whole dream sequence was funny but I thought his reaction to it and the subsequent scenes were absolutely absurd. It would of been more tolerable for me and easier to suspend my disbelief if his interactions with strangers were not so negative and devoid of humor; this ugliness pervaded the entire movie. I had high hopes after Tambor's first date with Clayburgh because there was some kind of magic in that encounter. Then the movie seemed to stall again and led to more negative encounters. I stopped caring at that point and shut it off.

In New York, Grace (Jill Clayburgh) and Christopher (Jeffrey Tambor) are two lonely souls of fifty and something years old. Jill has not had sex for seven years, and the straight Christopher is very insecure with his masculinity. Both of them have made a promise in the past that they would never fall in love again. When they meet each other, they have a very complicated affair and of course in the end they fall in love for each other. This irregular low budget movie explores an important theme completely disregarded by Hollywood: sex after fifty years old. The story looks like a "Sex and the City" of middle-aged women and has many good jokes and situations. The problem is the trailer released by the distributor. I saw it a couple of days ago, and it shows the best parts of the story, spoiling the funny situations. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Coisas do Amor" ("Things About Love")

we just laughed soooo hard...nearly passed out from lack of air....sure feels good to laugh. I'm so glad i was born with "Happy Genes" . Exciting movie of mid-life divorcees . recommend to watch..will not be disappointed

I caught this film on a whim and was very happy I took a chance. I found it to be extremely funny and was happy to see terrific actors like Jeffrey Tambor and Jill Clayburgh in leading roles which they handled brilliantly. While the conflict proved to be predictable, it was strong and moving non-the-less. Was slightly let down by the "Night in Shining Armor" ending, but was glad for a happy outcome. It's hard enough to be over 40 and alone without depicting it as an end on film. I highly recommend this film; especially to those entering the perils of mid-life or starting over once the kids are grown up.
