A very lonely divorced man is thrilled and surprised to begin a love affair with an attractive woman, then discovers she has a manipulating post-teenage son.

I had really high expectations for this movie. There was something off for me. I expected it to be more of a comedy - but it wasn't really very funny. Just sort of sad. I love all three actors, but this didn't seem to be a great vehicle for any of them. The movie got a lot of good reviews, what's wrong with me?
