Middle-aged businesswoman Paula Tessier rejects the advances of her client's amusing 25-year-old son, Philip Van der Besh, but reconsiders when her longtime philandering partner begins yet another casual affair with a younger woman. She soon learns that May-December romances with older women are frowned upon in society.

If you still forgive your ex watching this film gonna make you think you're lookin at the mirror
Eğer eski sevgilini hâlâ affediyorsan bu filmi izlemek sana aynaya bakmışsın gibi hissettirecek

i honestly haven’t crashed out & started talking to myself about the movie while watching it in a longgg time like i had to pause & brisk walk middle of it in frustration. the RAGE i have for Roger is insurmountable. Phillip deserves better:(
