The jokes are not funny, the romance is unbelievable, the scenes are written by the very people the film is criticizing and, when at least you think the point of view is somewhat fresh, they bury it in clichés. Michelle Pfeiffer is still cute, but she's forty. And that's what the movie is focused on. It's a romantic comedy for your mom. Paul Rudd makes the entire film worth it, although he doesn't have to do much except clown around like a horny kid. That's his role, you see, being incredibly young at 29. That means I am not ancient, either, yippee! Bottom line: this could have been written a little better and achieved a much higher level of quality. As such, one feels almost nothing. It's a movie about human chemistry that has no chemistry.

How this film was ever produced beats me. The romance is unconvincing, it's not funny and the plot could send anyone to sleep. Not worth hanging on in for, as it doesn't get any better. Hopefully Graham Norton was well paid and unlike the other actors, he had little to lose. The director and writers have got it all wrong, I am not sure if they have had past successes but one thing is certain, they will find it hard to recover from this flop. The focus around the world of TV makes it even more self centered, making the viewer truly feel like they are on a different wave length. Did I miss something? maybe the real punchline to every joke. If you've got any painting to do, go watch it dry rather than see this film.

Amy Heckerling brings forth a delightful romantic comedy centred around the romance between a younger man and older woman. But what makes this one different is the director's treatment. Heckerling's 'I Could Never Be Your Woman' follows the same style of her 'Clueless'. What I liked about the comedy is that the humour is quite dry and that goes very well with the mood and situations of the film. Unlike most recent movies of this genre, it does not heavily rely on slapstick or vulgarity. It is pretty much comprised of all kinds of comedy like satire, a bit of slapstick, innuendos, symbolism, visual jokes and wit. The whimsical soundtrack gives the movie an upbeat feel. Heckerling gently presents themes like people's obsession with youth, plastic surgery, looks mattering more than personality and talent. Heckerling's exceptional cast The eternally gorgeous Michelle Pfeiffer takes a break from the negative roles and delivers a splendid performance. I liked her chemistry with her co-stars. It's as though even after being a big movie star she really enjoyed working with the actors. Likewise, Paul Rudd gives a natural and hilarious performance. Everything he does is funny. Saoirse Ronan does an excellent job too. I liked her performance here more than what she did in 'Atonement'. The eternally hot Stacey Dash plays the bimbo very effectively (I can't believe she's actually 40 and yet she so right for the part). Jon Lovitz and Tracey Ullman are brilliant respectively as the image obsessed ex and the angry Mother Nature. It was great to see familiar British faces like Graham Norton and Sarah Alexander who superbly plays the passive aggressive unsuccessful seductress. I also liked how Heckerling and the actors portrayed the relationships between the characters. It really comes across as authentic, natural and sincere. For example, the scene where Rosie and her daughter play with Barbies, Adam 'acting around' with everyone, Nathan's obsession with looking young, Rosie arguing with Mother Nature. Izzie's versions of 'Ironic'...these are all very genuine, clever and funny ideas and it is these little things that make 'I Could Never Be Your Woman' a unique gem.

Amy Heckerling's latest romantic comedy, I Could Never Be Your Woman, got, to use a proverbial word, shafted. It was meant for theatrical release and went straight to DVD due to some bad deals done with one of the producers. It's a shame despite the fact that Heckerling's comedy was far from being top-shelf work. It certainly stands a good chance at ranking well enough alongside (and probably better than) many of the tripe conventional market-stuffers that are out in cineplexes. Her film posits that a middle-aged TV writer (Michelle Pfieffer) has some angst and insecurities in dating one of the new stars of her TV show (Paud Rudd), and it's not a bad premise. This is also thrown in a quasi plot thread involving her daughter (Atonement's Saoirse Ronan, couldn't tell it was the same girl she's that good) as she tries to navigate her first possible boyfriend. A lot of this isn't delivered with all of the best execution- certainly it's hard to figure on what exactly makes the Tracy Ullman bits funny as they're slipped in with some awkward soft-focus and at ill-timing- and there's something kind of fishy about putting such an actress like Michelle Pfieffer, who is still incredibly beautiful for any age, in the role of an insecure woman who can't see herself with such a younger man after such a long break from being with a man. At the same time, there is a good deal that does work to Heckerling's advantage, such as the bond between the mother and daughter in the story that doesn't ring as being sappy or trite like in other rom-coms or flicks with mother-daughter talks and such. And almost in spite of the bright lighting, Paul Rudd lays on the same charm and wit carried over from the Judd Apatow comedies (if, of course, nowhere near as funny in the sensibility of crudeness). And who can't love Jon Lovitz or Fred Willard? So with I Could Never Be Your Woman, it's good for a rental, but that's not really the point with the release issue. It's the kind of movie, as with Heckerling's others, that play for laughs with a big audience, and are perfect for a certain niche of female viewers and die-hard rom-com afficionados. It's light and slight and not too terrible, if not much memorable either.

This would have been a good movie. With Michelle Pfeiffer and Paul Rudd and even the daughter, they really struck gold. If only they had cut out EVERYTHING ELSE. Mother Nature was mean-spirited and completely annoying. I hated whenever she was on screen and the entire hour or so that Rosie and Adam were not together dragged. Paul Rudd is charming and Michelle Pfeiffer shines but it's almost not worth it to sit through the rest of the garbage surrounding them. They had so many pointless plot points that they didn't know what to do with. If they had just focused on the main storyline, they would have really had something special.
