As Good As It Gets

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I have just seen this movie and i just wanna say that it is awesome. The chemistry between Locklear and Buckley are amazing, it's funny sexy and most importantly, it challenges the view society has built regarding single women over 35.Pretty early in the movie you find out that Locklears ex-husband Daniel has a new girlfriend; he is 42 and she only 28. I'm pretty sure that none of you raised an eyebrow; i mean there's nothing wrong to have some "lamb-meat" if you are a guy. In that case you are hip cool, and you get tons of respect from your pals. If this would be let's say an older woman and a young hot guy, then the woman has some sort of midlife crisis, she's s bad mother, irresponsible; running around with her boy toy.It's obvious that her friends are happy that she's moving on, but they also gives her; as they call it " friendly advise".I am in my mid thirties and i am not accepting the fact that men are allowed to act different than a woman when it comes to sex and relationships and neither should you.This movie has everything and i have been smiling for about an hour now, and it doesn't get any better than looking at Buckleys sun-tanned hot body and gorgeous smile.

In Denver, the decorator Jackie Laurens (Heather Locklear) has divorced from her husband Daniel Laurens (Cameron Bancroft), who had cheated on her and now is living with the younger Melinda (Christy Greene). Jackie has a son, Will, and a daughter, Jessica, and she is stressed especially with a demanding client. Jackie will be forty on December, 30th, and her friend Kristine (Vanessa Williams) gives a short vacation at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel to her to celebrate her birthday. However, Kristine's mother has a health problem and Jackie travels alone to Honolulu.Jackie meets the handsome twenty-seven year-old surf instructor Kyle Hamilton (Robert Buckley) and they have one night stand. However, they fall in love with each other and Jackie travels to Hawaii to meet Kyle whenever she can. She discloses her love affair to her close friends that do not approve her relationship with a man thirteen years younger than she. When Jessica has an accident, Jackie travels back to Denver in the first available flight and Daniel disapproves her behavior. Jackie decides to break off with Kyle, but on the Christmas Eve, Jackie has a big surprise.First of all, congratulations to the forty-six year-old actress Heather Locklear, who convinces that she is forty with her shape and beauty. It is impressive how a woman can keep such body with forty and something years."Flirting with Forty" is a sweet and entertaining romantic comedy about difference of ages when the woman is older than the man. The funny joke with the Moores (Julianne and Demi) is partially dated in 2012, but love is eternal while it lasts and Jackie should stay with Kyle, no matter what other people say. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Flertando aos 40" ("Flirting with 40")

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.

Since I has nothing else, I started watching this movie...I planned to watch it only for 10 mins,but it became quite interesting and I had to watch the end before I sleep...till the end I was not sure how this would end, though I has a slight feeling that it might end like this.. ... I could clearly see how much trouble/complications it would be to have hawaii lover and 2 kids back at Denver... this is a nice,slow,pleasant movie to watch and feel good. I just loved the hawaii lover, though he looked young for the heroine...:-( And the 2 kids are good too...The hawaii scenes could have been better, I mean they could have shown more hawaii stuff & places. If it comes on TV, try to watch...U may like it :-)
