I'm surprised to see such dreadful reviews for this movie- I actually quite enjoyed it. Yes it lacks any real depth or intricacy but it is wholly enjoyable, pleasantly titillating and the relationships that develop are actually quite interesting. If this was American it would probably be unwatchable but the French are often able to elevate a movie by charm alone.

Don't expect anything too deep here. Full of lovely French beach life, and formulaic plot twists. Best thing I can say, is it wasn't a complete waste of time, since we got to practice our French comprehension.

Wish the pelican had more scenes, so funny. Humans are cliché.
Message of the movie is drown by weak dialogues and mediocre storylines.

This is one of those movies where each scene by itself is fine, as are the actors and the scenery, but all those scenes put together make for a senseless boring misogynistic story that is not even tied together at the end. And, it's not funny, there was exactly one moment in the film where I laughed (and, mostly because I was waiting to laugh for an hour by that point), all the rest of it was tedious drama and awkward moments that one keeps hoping would end up making some sense at the end, but they never do. What a loss of time. Another problem with this film is the way it portrays women of (all ages) as weak, clingy, hung up on men, ready to sleep with anyone willing and then getting obsessed with them. The only way a woman, according to this film, can leave a man is when another man takes her away from him. Men take women or leave them, women have no agency and no core. Even the female friendship, which is supposed to be central to the story, is shown as being shallow and fickle - it's not a friendship, it's a tolerance or usage, when it's convenient. I am disappointed with this movie, especially because it employs a good acting crew, and I feel sorry for the women who played in it. For the men too, in fact. Save yourself some time and skip this sorry attempt at humor. Go watch Pretty Ugly People on youtube, if you want an engaging relationships comedy.

Honestly it was one of the worst films I have ever seen. Don't get me wrong I wasn't expecting much in the first place but this film still managed to disappoint me.
I will keep this review spoiler-free so I won't talk about the plot. Oh sorry there is no plot. This film just feels like watching random scenes that have no connection with each other. There are so many random characters who have literally zero purpose or point in the film. (Ex?-crazy girlfriend? Random guy with 6 year old son?) So many random scenes happen and lead to nowhere. The ending was a huge mess as well. After an hour and a half, I wasn't sure if it could get any worse but wow it actually did.
The pacing was also terrible. At times it was very fast and you couldn't tell what was happening and generally it was just painfully slow. Again you sit through a random conversation for ten minutes which leads to nowhere.
Yet there are comments about how this film excelled at reflecting the theme women empowerment when it only portrayed middle aged single women as clingy, easily over-attached and weak. Let's not kid ourselves here.
Just a horrible film with weak and unfunny jokes. Don't waste your time with this mess.

There is no deep storyline here. However, I enjoyed the beach atmosphere, beautiful people, erotic scenes, lovely music and hilarious nature of some scenes. This is a very good movie if you want to chill out a bit without making your mind exhausted.
Man, I don't know where to begin. Absolutely inane plot that drags along at a snail's pace. Sex scenes that start like a bad porno but then just end before it gets interesting. Save yourself the time and just watch porn if that's why you're interested in this flick; pornos have a better-developed plot.
This charming, erotic and hyper-realistic film about holiday romances would make the perfect antidote for anyone who's accidentally watched. Nancy Meyers' "The Holiday", which is most of us as it's on UK TV every night. Three gorgeous, older French women shack up with three French boys without any "meet cutes" or significant complications with exes. The intimacy coordinator - if they have them in France - must have been kept busy. Some safeguarding issues are handled with wit and aplomb, and there's no date rape, just a joke about it in the worst possible taste. And there's a pelican! Well worth watching although the English subtitles don't do the sassy French dialogue justice.
The movie does not open in a promising way, however in hindsight it ends up making pretty much sense. Sex scenes are not sexy, with not forced nudity. Some dialogues might be a little misogynistic but then they try to put a kind of male into perspective. Overall a decent one time watch.

Where to start? In the first 5 minutes you can see you're in for a very weak movie! The directing, the plot and the worst, the acting! The acting is so bad in this movie you ask yourself how are those people actors! It's hard to go throw all the film, it's a very cringy one!

It's a hot & humid summer here in Chicago which is typically the ripest romantic season but as we're still in the middle of this pandemic it hasn't felt quite as it should so I personally appreciated the softcore steamy escape to the south of France. I found empowering women themes played out, challenges to double standards, & some funny jabs at adult websites leading to underwhelming "sleepy time". HAH. I'd say a fun flick for a girls (or guys) night or solo wine & Netflix sesh. I'm a 30yo female. I noticed all the acclaimed critics almost all male... lame! They didn't get it?!

Don't expect anything too deep when watching this movie. It literally feels like cracking open a beer and letting oneself unwind/unravel.
There's no captivating plot, but as an older woman (I'm going on 45), it was fun to see gorgeous French women in the same age group as I am having non-commital relationships and enjoying themselves. They do touch (very briefly) on how society looks at relationships strangely - ok for older men to be with younger females, but not accepting of older women with younger males.
It was cute and funny. Don't expect everlasting love. That was never the point of the plot or movie. Go in with a carefree, open-minded mentality and you'll enjoy the movie better that way.

Exactly what you would expect. Some women in midlife crisis exploring various stages of a summer flings with some younger men. Very Flat. The female leads are ok but the movie lacks dimension.

No story. No acting. Random characters thrown in with no point. Weak nymphomaniac women and dumb boyfriends. Was their a point in this movie. No there was a whole ZERO. STRICTLY AVOID.

It's not that bad, though the rating here suggests that some do feel that way. One thing is for sure: not all movies are made to make you feel comfortable. And a movie called Milf (I am assuming you know what that really stands for) is prone to make people cringe. Some of the dialog is even aimed at people who take offense by what some are calling cougars.
And while this isn't the best movie or drama I've seen, I would say it's more than decent. Yes some of the things and decisions are annoying, but these are human beings and even when they cry and seem unreasonable, you can understand why they act that way. Overall fun and light, with some digs at old versus young. Not all the jokes work mind you, but enough to make this an entertaining watch. If you don't mind some nudity and sexual situations that occur (with the dialog to match that)

The movie running with very messy plot and unfocus story line, there's no character development at all i left the movie after 1 hour watching, and i just realise that's so much thing that i can do in 1 hour despite spent the time with this pointless movie.

A French romantic comedy.
It's about some forty-something friends who go to a beach house to sell it and spend time together, but their plans change when some twenty-somethings try to seduce them.
Quality.
Entertaining.
Good physicists and good performances.
Pleasant sexual jokes, as well as sarcasms.
The nudes and the careful sexual scenes and very French.
Can a man be with a younger woman and nobody says anything, but if a woman with someone younger is attacked in prejudice? That explores this movie.
It talks about mature and young love, of loving yourself at any age, highlights the value of women, of relationships that give security, that there is no age to love and value yourself.
In fact this topic is not new: Naomi Watts handles it very well in the drama "Adore", as well as Catherine Zeta-Jones in "My second time" falling in love with men younger than them.

Who is going to believe guys in twenties will fall in love with women in fifties. It's ok practically having sex but expecting to take it seriously is a joke, it's possible only if the women is filthy rich but some one who is randomly on vacation after break up from husband.
I was atleast expecting few erotic scenes but it disappointed in that department too.
Don't waste your time it's neither erotic nor comedy.
