6/10
Not that original, supported by a convincing Julianne Moore

Warning: Spoilers
Old maids are always old maids, so even if they have a respectably satisfying although quiet life, they always hide repressed desires that sometimes come to light: Julianne Moore, the English teacher, reflects this prototype, and the movie does not add anything new to this ever green concept (or maybe preconception) about single women, they necessarily need a man. So, nothing new, it would be nice to see sometimes another version, to offer a new and still realistic ending, of a single woman capable of enjoying life without the need of a man, but this is not the case, prince charming is always lurking and ready to transform and save the heroine. However, a good interpretation is offered by the always impeccable Julianne Moore, better when expressing the sad and dramatic side of her life. Unfortunately, we all know that comedies end when everything is fine and promising, what happens after the happy ending belongs to other movies, but these are other stories and we do not need them. So, once again single women can take a breath and be satisfied, there is hope for everyone
