Our take
The comedy rests on adults talking openly about sex, ageing and the people they have slept with. There is nudity as well as romance. We would save it for US PG-13 rather than treating the light tone as a sign that the bedroom content is light too.
Uplifting themes
The film values emotional honesty, second chances, and love that is not built on a trophy-partner fantasy. Growing up emotionally is treated as worth the awkwardness Erica models sharp boundaries and creative independence. Harry has to learn respect after years of shallow dating, and the doctor friend offers steady care
Story (may spoil tone)
When perpetually single, aging music industry exec Harry Sanborn, and his latest trophy girlfriend, Marin, arrive at her mother's beach house in the Hamptons, they find that her mother, playwright Erica Barry, also plans to stay for the weekend. Erica is scandalized by the relationship and Harry's sexist ways. But when Harry has a heart attack while there, and the doctor prescribes bedrest, his only option is to stay at the Barry home. Left in the care of Erica and his doctor, a love triangle starts to take shape.

A heart scare and talk of anxiety attacks sit under the comedy. Fear of aging and loneliness also push characters into honest conversations
