the rebound

its a love story but the mushy kind (otherwise i wouldnt have even bothered to write about it).
catherine zeta jones (sandy): is a 40 year old mother of two who has sacrificed her career for her family until one day she discoveres her husband's infidelity. she leaves him and is thus hard up for money. so she moves into the city of new york, takes up a small job and an even smaller apartment which is really a loft on a coffee shop. incidently, justin bartha works there.
justin bartha (aarom): is a 24 year old college graduate with high profile parents whom he also lives with. he has absolutely no clue about what to do with life. he had married a french girl named elise who was in it only for the green card. being a hopless romantic, he doesnt divorce the wife so that she gets that wretched card. life: throws them together. justin happens to be really good with kids so catherine hires him as the nanny! anyway, during the course of time they discover that they are perfectly suited to each other and help complete each other. so they start dating (ignoring the 15 years of difference). but eventually the age gap catches up on sandy and they split up.
then fate plays...
the movie is gorgeous. there is no other word i can think of to describe it. the love story between them is not gross (which cannot be said in many cases). this might be owing to the fact that justin looked delicious and his character is dreamy.... hmmm... i zoned out just to dream about him...it had a very subtle and well placed humor, adding to its charm. a must watch for people who have done some growing up in lives and can take something mature and appreciate it
