Hope Melissa Bank got paid well for this!
by jumpy1 (New York, NY)
I loved the book and the screenplay did not disappoint, but was deeply disappointed by the casting of Ms. Gellar, who did her best but just could not pull off this character, who is more Carrie Bradshaw than Buffy. To begin with, they dressed her in clothes a la Nancy Botwin in Weeds which are worn by women who look sensual in them (as does Mary Louise Parker), while SMG just looks like a 30 year-old dressing like a 50 year-old (who claims to be only 22 years old!) Then, she is just not convincing as someone who reads all day and fights for authors. The overall effect of the sets, costumes and locations paired to this script and Buffy WAS creepy, as so many other reviewers said. I just hope Melissa Banks made some money off of it, it certainly wasn't her fault.

Awkward movie with zero romance
by D. Munro (PA, USA)
I was actually excited to see this movie, glad that Sarah Michelle Gellar was hitting the big screen once more. I was interested to see her opposite Alec Baldwin. To say this didn't live up to my expectations would be an understatement.
Gellar plays Brett, a naive young woman who has dreams of being a big editor. Her boyfriend fled to Europe without her and returns as though nothing has changed. Alec Baldwin is Archie, a suave, successful editor who has issues with alcoholism, along with his young adult daughter.
Archie takes Brett under his wing, but the intent is clear -- he wants her. He has photo albums of young women he has dated over the years ... he's an expert in wooing younger women. He shows this to Brett as if it is a trophy.
What I found troubling is that in many parts, Archie is condescending toward his newest girlfriend. He taunts Brett's use of certain phrases/expressions, edits her as she speaks, and seems more a teacher than a loving companion. He lies to her multiple times, berates her, and repeatedly hurts her in various degrees. I found myself wondering why this was portrayed as a romance. Yes, he does help her in moments, but in those moments his reasons for helping her are to keep hold of the mature young woman now slipping away.
I like both actors ... but this was a disappointment.

Love Alec and Sarah together. Reminds me of Autumn in New York!
by N. Lam
I have to say I loved this film. This is not your average love story about two young people going through a relationship. Neither is this movie about two older people trying to get out of a rut. Instead, it's two people trying to find themselves through each other. This movie reminds me a lot about Autumn in New York, which is a movie I love and has a much sadder ending. You have to lose the whole "it's creepy, he just wants them young" attitude. The truth is society does embrace and want "young". Just look at all the teen and tween idols. you have to see it as two people in their element going through life.
With all that said, I always liked Alec Baldwin. He just seemed the type that is funny and can effortlessly sweep me off of my feet. Sarah plays her character very well and you see the progression from her.
4/5
A Sweet Treat
by Geary A., Jones
The performances of Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Alec Baldwin were quite wonderful in this extremely funny, very charming movie. The older man-younger woman thing worked surprisingly well ( due in no small part to the excellent chemistry between it's two stars ), and the director ( Joan Sobel ) kept the story refreshingly free of cliches. I highly recommend it.
2/5
Much Ado About Nothing
by M. Layman (LA, CA)
Sarah plays a book editor who sets her sights on dating the CEO of a publishing company. And that's pretty much the whole story. The problem with this film is that it has no drama. Most of the first hour is just about the two people dating. The last half hour of the film was a little slow and meandering, before it attempts to put a happy ending on this rather dull and pointless story. I was disappointed and now I know why the film went straight to DVD.
