Mindy Quinn (Teri Hatcher) is turning 50 and having a mid-life crisis. She's been divorced for two years. Her daughter Rita dropped out of med school and is marrying Emily. Her friend Nathalie tells her to feel her feelings, and that's when Sam Berman (James Tupper) notices her. He's actually her high school boyfriend and Emily's uncle.
I had little expectations for this. Of course, I wanted to see some Teri Hatcher with James Tupper. I expected a bit of bland TV romance, but this is even less than that. Her objection with the proposal is light weight and frustrating. I really need more heat from the romance. It doesn't help that Marc isn't a hunkier guy. There's no chance to develop into a real love triangle. This is a mid-life crisis. It needs some funny attempts at youthful indiscretions. It barely even has that. Maybe the big lead names heightened my expectations under the radar.

Movie Reviews
Hatcher and Tupper
Mid Love Crisis 60
Had this movie been geared toward 60 it would have been perfect. I love the actors; however, from the beginning there was absolutely no way Teri could pull off 49 at 57 - so the entire movie had no believability, especially those that know age. Other than that cute film but it was never a connection because if the age place on her. Looks great at 57 but not 49. You can clearly tell once the movie started and she announced 49 from her hands face etc. I'm 60 and look (from others 55) but there's no way that I could pull off 49 either. I literally have watched every hallmark movie made (even twice) this is my first review.
Miscast ages
Love Teri Hatcher but she is approaching her Sensational Sixties not her Fabulous Fifties. There's plenty of other actresses that would be better suited age-wise, but they are being cast in under 35 / millennial roles! Sort this out, movie-makers because it doesn't make sense to viewers when actors our age are playing different generations. Don't have your head so full of younger peoples' issues that you forget to present other age ranges appropriately. The movie industry is particularly bad at representing over 40s and whilst this show tried, it is still way off the mark. Really disappointed as Hatcher and James Tupper are in some of my favorite things, but this ain't one.
