Flirting with Forty (2008)

Simply A Masterpiece

Really Surprised!

Lack of good storyline.

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

In Denver, the decorator Jackie Laurens (Heather Locklear) has divorced from her husband Daniel Laurens (Cameron Bancroft), who had cheated on her and now is living with the younger Melinda (Christy Greene). Jackie has a son, Will, and a daughter, Jessica, and she is stressed especially with a demanding client. Jackie will be forty on December, 30th, and her friend Kristine (Vanessa Williams) gives a short vacation at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel to her to celebrate her birthday. However, Kristine's mother has a health problem and Jackie travels alone to Honolulu.Jackie meets the handsome twenty-seven year-old surf instructor Kyle Hamilton (Robert Buckley) and they have one night stand. However, they fall in love with each other and Jackie travels to Hawaii to meet Kyle whenever she can. She discloses her love affair to her close friends that do not approve her relationship with a man thirteen years younger than she. When Jessica has an accident, Jackie travels back to Denver in the first available flight and Daniel disapproves her behavior. Jackie decides to break off with Kyle, but on the Christmas Eve, Jackie has a big surprise.First of all, congratulations to the forty-six year-old actress Heather Locklear, who convinces that she is forty with her shape and beauty. It is impressive how a woman can keep such body with forty and something years."Flirting with Forty" is a sweet and entertaining romantic comedy about difference of ages when the woman is older than the man. The funny joke with the Moores (Julianne and Demi) is partially dated in 2012, but love is eternal while it lasts and Jackie should stay with Kyle, no matter what other people say. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Flertando aos 40" ("Flirting with 40")

This film is about a separated woman who is approaching forty years old, finding a renewed surge of excitement in her love life while vacationing in Hawaii."Flirting With Forty" may have a predictable plot, but it is well executed from beginning to end. The female lead, Heather Locklear, is convincing as a woman who needs a relationship after a failed marriage. The male lead, Robert Buckley, is very good looking and charming. He is also convincing as a bright and cheerful surfer who knows how to enjoy life. The ups and downs of their relationship are portrayed well, especially the up parts. The scenery is amazing, and production is good too. In short, "Flirting With Forty" is a great romantic comedy that deserves more attention.

The older woman with a younger guy syndrome. Of course, when her husband falls for a younger girl, this is perfectly all right. This seems to be the norm in society.While on vacation, Jackie, (Locklear) falls for a younger guy, a surf instructor. Her friends back at home try to dissuade her from such a relationship. Even her former husband, who is living with a younger girl, has his criticisms as well. There are 2 children involved.When you think of it, this is really an updated version of 1955's "All that Heaven Allows," with Jane Wyman and Rock Hudson. Of course, that was far superior because of the likes of Janie and Rock and the marvelous supporting cast of Jacqueline de Wit, the town's vicious gossip and Wyman friend, Agnes Moorehead.A lot of these films have the same common denominator. While there shall be an understanding at the end, the husband loses his new girlfriend.

Since I has nothing else, I started watching this movie...I planned to watch it only for 10 mins,but it became quite interesting and I had to watch the end before I sleep...till the end I was not sure how this would end, though I has a slight feeling that it might end like this.. ... I could clearly see how much trouble/complications it would be to have hawaii lover and 2 kids back at Denver... this is a nice,slow,pleasant movie to watch and feel good. I just loved the hawaii lover, though he looked young for the heroine...:-( And the 2 kids are good too...The hawaii scenes could have been better, I mean they could have shown more hawaii stuff & places. If it comes on TV, try to watch...U may like it :-)
