Sheila E H.

This was a wonderful movie. Its about life after age 30 and the characters views on growing old. This movie carried a strong message (grow up, enjoy life and be thankful).

I was surprised how good this movie was, I wasn't expecting much though. It's a good movie to see if you're turning 30 or already have. The only problem I had was with the actors ages. Several of them have turned thirty several years ago, so it was awkward that some of them who were on their way to forty were playing 29yr olds. Other than that it was okay.

This movie has an inane plot with underdeveloped unbelievable characters. After about an hour, I couldn't watch it anymore
