Ok after these reviews I have to admit we saw it but no one mentioned how graphic it was. I liked it and can benefit from it enjoyed the jokes and thought all 3 main characters did a good job but wish I had known about the actual showing of so much...just our take on it.

I'm thinking the character played by Tommy Lee Jones was still working a regular job and probably not our age. Meryl Streep's character seem even younger. It was thought provoking and a movie with this type of script will certainly get different reviews and opinions. I thought both actors did a great job.

The couple had been married 31 years so that puts them 50-65 years old. Our group of 18 women saw it last Thurs. AM and then went to lunch. We all loved it and thought it was quite accurate and funny (except for the separate bedrooms). The couple in the movie hit a rough patch, stagnate, routines become boring yet they do something about it and "Hope Springs" eternal. Very good acting and facial expressions were priceless. Great movie!
