Is 34 considered a cougar? That's about how old Laura Allen was when she made the film.
shareAgreed she was no cougar.
"I want you to look at me as a whole"
"I do!"
"no a whole, with a w!"
By definition she is a cougar:

She is an older woman interested in a younger man although it was more about him than her. He had more in common with her daughter than her. She just said things that made sense to him where as the daughter was mostly putting on a show.
And I agree with the original poster, it is getting old.
I'd call her a MILF instead.
shareI agree...the cougar theme is getting old in films - I hope that soon it will translate from film into reality.
shareThere are "cougars", and there were cougars 20 years before Hollywood started making movies about them (same with "friends with benefits"). I remember one of my mom's friends hitting on me when I was about 20 (and my younger brother). If I had friends with teenage daughters today, I definitely wouldn't hit on them because it makes you look like a creep. Why glamorize that behavior, regardless of gender?
Hollywood does really glamorize everything. The Hollywood "cougars" are portrayed as very attractive older women in movies, but you should probably substitute "attractive" with "desperate" if you want to portray reality. Think about it, if a woman looks really good at 40 or 50, she has probably spent a lot of money to look that way. Is it a. because she wants to fulfill the sex fantasies of young males who are too socially inept to succeed with women their own age, or b. because she wants to marry a well-off man her age or older while she can still maintain her looks? You decide.
