Comedy, 2009 (Rated PG 13)
Ann Devereaux (Zellweger) finally decides to leave her cheating musician husband (Bacon) after 16 years despite the fact that she has never worked a day in her life and has always been a "kept" woman. She sends her son to buy a car and they hit the road leaving New York and their cushy privileged lifestyle behind. Her mission: Find another man to take care of her and her two son's. The task proves not to be as easy as she thought but along the way she learns more about her son's then she ever bothered to know before and discovers something else about herself that she never thought she would.
- The movie is good and I love the way the story unfolds but it moves pretty slow.
- There were lots of shadows in this movie on the actors faces and everywhere else.
- Ann is basically a gold digger as she sets out to find someone to replace her husband when the logical thing would be to find a job.
- She is used to luxury and nannies to the point where she never even bothered to take an interest in being a good mother.
- She is witty, charming and beautiful. The type of woman who usually gets what she wants and generally has life handed to her on a silver platter.
- Every now and then I think of how nice it might be to be that woman who lives a life of leisure and is totally taken care of by a man. It's nice in theory but the idea of being that incapable of taking care of myself and making it my mission to get by on someone else's dime is sort of pathetic.
