I can't say how much I love this film. It's my guilty pleasure, I have seen it several times and its just a joy to watch.
Streep is gorgeous and captivating on screen and Martin & Baldwin both have amazing presence. It's a refreshing romcom that doesn't circulate around the typical confused 20-something woman. Instead Jane (Streep) is a strong, intelligent, self possessed woman with kids and a career. She's refreshing in her empowered approach and her ability to create a beautiful life, with or without a man. Nancy Meyers creates the most beautiful, immersive set, down to the last detail.. Lavender icecream, croque monsieur, that house, that claw foot bath! It just feels like the home you've always wanted. A seriously gorgeous movie from start to finish.

I feel like I've just seen a different film than a lot of the other reviewers here. I found it to be really warm, open and positive. It's a beautiful series of little moments all strung together, or a joining of the dots as Beyonce likes to put it. She's got a beautiful conversational tone throughout that feels like catching up with an old friend, there's a definite generosity of spirit there. What I found really interesting was her courageous approach to her life, she lets herself be vulnerable, questioning, fierce, sensitive, hard-edged and celebratory. She embraces all of herself in a very honest way. I really just enjoyed it for what it was.
