"I picked this up fairly randomly and really loved it. It's feel-good story about life after 40, and the balances folks must face to ensure amidst all the sacrifices for family and career, that we still make a personal path to happiness.
I found it very believable, cute, and what some may call a "chick flick". I plan to add it to my list of "Christmas viewing" since there are some really nice holiday scenes in it.
Heather and Robert were terrific. And visually the movie is beautiful with a number of scenes in Hawaii.
I am not sure why I hadn't heard of it before, but after seeing it I definitely recommend it!"
Heather gets her groove back!

"This is a great movie to distract the viewer from our tough economic times. Heather Locklear plays Jackie, a recently divorced mother of two who takes a vacation in Hawaii where she meets a much younger surfing instructor. Happily, he is portrayed by Robert Buckley, a Hugh Jackman look-a-like.
Is is animal lust or true love? Will Jackie be dissuaded from this sweet gorgeous hunk by her "well-meaning" friends? Will she master surfing in one lesson? Pop some corn, pop open some champagne and watch it yourself to find out."
Wonderful

"We saw this movie on TV and wanted to add it to our collection. It was great to see it without all of the commercials. Heather was very believeable as a forty year old who meets and falls in love with a much younger man. We liked the reactions of her best friends and how she resisted their trying to control her life. We have watched this movie several times and will continue to enjoy it. My wife and I definitely recommend this movie. In fact, I am several years older than my wife and I hope that when I am gone, she can have such good luck as Jackie in Flirting with Forty!"
