Aren't they all a bit old?


The women in the movies are all early 40's, yet fertility issues are never mentioned. Are we meant to think they're mid-30's?

This really put me off!

Actors/actresses routinely play characters who are 10+ years their junior in movies and TV shows. There was a comment made by Jule in the movie where she said if she met the man of her dreams she'd have 6 months to a year before they'd have to start having kids, so I think early to mid 30s is right. I don't think any of the actresses LOOK 40, even if that's their true age.

I agree but I do honestly think most look around 40 in this film. Still late thirties would bring up fertility issues or doubts. And the main actress is botoxed to high heaven!

I think they were supposed to be in their 30s. It didn't bother me. But I did have to wonder if they got pregnant on the very first time they had sex, or did they sleep together multiple times?
