Anne is too old for Ashton


Getting tired of seeing cougars paired up with men that look a lot younger. She looks like she is old enough to be his grandmother. She looks 20 years older and he looks 10 years younger. The odd couple ruined the movie. Girls age a lot faster than men. Heche looks too old and needs to be paired with a much older man. Ashton looks incredible though.

Well, . . . I think the point of this story was that Nicky and Samantha were NOT right for each other. They weren't even a couple. They were using each other for a time, and then it was over.

The point of this movie, as I saw it, was that Ashton's character was using his looks to get things from women. It's easier doing that than getting a real job and working for a living like everyone else. The women who have money and are willing to pay men for sex are usually older and have high salaried-jobs (Anne Heche's character is a partner in a law firm.) Los Angeles has a lot of high-salaried career women, and many of them are over 40.

This movie is not a romantic comedy, so Nicky and Samantha were never going to end up together, living happily ever after. It's possible that this role was offered to Demi Moore, Ashton's wife. This is conjecture on my part, but why wouldn't Demi want to play Samantha? Probably because it's not very flattering to be called the "older woman". However Anne Heche swallowed her pride, took the role and did a nice job with it.

She looks fantastic by the way, but they might have used body doubles in some of the nude scenes.

I doubt they used body doubles. Anne Heche was crazy hot. I'd bone her all day over some of these younger actresses(like Kristen Stewart lol) and I'm 22.

reply

you are right, there was no body double...
Anne Heche lookd very good in this movie...
and am sure ashton was very happy to make all this sex scenes with Anne and the other actresses.

reply

Anne Heche is the kind of chick you want the world to stop spinning, for; stop time, because what are we to do when girls like her and Naomi Watts, on some days even Bridget Fonda (?!), get older.. It's tough, hehe, life's a bi*ch. xD

reply

there was no body double, this was Anne Heche body and she looks very good and has a very good body too... !!!

reply

In actuality, she's nine years older than him. Seven years younger than his real-life girlfriend. So, I would say that's realistic.

reply

Sounds like you're just jealous from her lol

Sorry, but I can't buy Ashton Kutcher as some kind of gigolo. Heche is far better looking than him.

reply

Ha! I know, right?! As if Ashton Kutcher would actually be seen with an older woman!

reply

I seriously thought this was going to be a comical post. It's ironic because Ashton's actually with Demi Moore in real life, and she's older.
I was sadly mistaken.

did everyone miss the point that the older woman likes younger men, and ahstons character in the movie makes his living by getting older sucessful women to "pay" for his company????

reply

I came into this movie a little late; could not get into it - it looked uninteresting, but all these ridiculous comments about age are just that - ri-dic-u-lous. Anne Heche is 9 yrs older than Ashton Kutcher; that is hardly anything to make note of & I think Demi Moore is 15 yrs older. Me thinks people are getting the movie characters smixed up with real life.

reply

Dear, that was one of the main points of the movie. It's not a coincidence that Anne's character is older than Ashton's. Not sure if you noticed, but at the end when Ashton went to New York to see Heather, Heather was with a much older man.

Older people are usually much more established, financially stable and have nice houses, like Anne did, and like Heather's husband did. The question is, is a youthful person better off settling for love, or for money?

reply

What is the age difference between him and Demi?

reply

Did you watch the movie? The night he meets Anne Heche he said he was looking for something different this time or something like that. He went for a lonely rich woman who would take him to her home and get the easy life he wants.

reply

first of all...she was paying him to be with her.
second of all, by definition a cougar is much older than the guys she preys upon.

reply

OP seems to have missed the point of the movie
