Exceptionally realistic romantic-comedy/drama about middle-aged massage therapist Louis-Dreyfus who becomes romantically involved with a slightly out-of-league Gandolfini, who she is more mesmerized with by his gentleness and charm than his looks or physique. More commendable than the film's capturing of the doubts and imperfections that come with any relationship—an inevitable trait that many movies (especially romances) tend to ignore—is the purpose and inspiration that seems absent when trying to find love long after the norm does. Logic may only have to be suspended briefly in this outing, as even the close-minded viewer will get roped in by Louis-Dreyfus and Gandolfini's performances—sadly, the latter's final leading role.
