Watch Flirting with Forty For Free

One of my all time favorites.

How sad is this?

A lot of fun.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

I thought this was a sweet and contemporary story.A woman is divorced and lives the hard life as a single mom of two. When she turns 40 she reaches a turning point of her life and realizes that she really can enjoy all the aspects of her life, she meets a much younger attractive surfer and her friends begin to worry about her choice and think that she's reached a midlife crisis. She is happy and in love, could life be any better? I thought this movie was very romantic and sweet, and it raises some good points about age differences and love. I liked it because I felt like I could very easily relate to the story. I also must mention that Heather Locklear looks as great as ever.

Heather Locklear and I go way back, to about 1986. No, we have never met, but I recall having a poster of her on my cubicle wall at work back then. She was a 20-something starlet, promoting some sort of fitness business, I forget which. But I never forgot Heather. In fact my wife and I have a running joke, if Heather Locklear ever shows up at my front door, asking for me, then I have permission to run off with her!I suppose with a not-so-hidden vanity motive on her part, Heather Locklear, who is rapidly approaching 50, plays Jackie Laurens, about to turn 40, in this TV movie. She is divorced, with children, and a successful decorator in Denver. But she has no man in her life. To take away the sting of turning 40, her best friend presents her with two tickets and hotel reservations to Hawaii, for both of them to go and enjoy the vacation, and do whatever single women do there.Vanessa Williams as Kristine is her friend, but as they meet up in the airport terminal Kristine tells her of a family emergency, she can't go, but Jackie is to go ahead and enjoy the trip. She sets out alone.After being hit upon rather quickly by an orthodontist at a conference, she is rescued by Robert Buckley as Kyle Hamilton who recognizes what is going on. He is a 27 year old beach bum and surfer instructor, which Jackie immediately recognizes is way too young for her. But she cannot resist his charms and they hook up anyway.Thinking this was just to be a one-nighter Jackie is surprised when Kyle shows up over and over, and they begin a very improbable relationship. He doesn't seem to be bothered at all by their age differences.The movie isn't great and the acting is just adequate, but I enjoyed it for Heather Locklear. I don't even mind that she played a character almost 10 years younger than her real age. She looks pretty good for almost 50!

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 :-)
