The breakdown: An older man loves dating younger women, but trouble ensues when he suffers a heart attack at his current girlfriend's mothers home.

First off, the only reason I wanted to see this movie was for Keanu Reeves and he did not disappoint.  I really didn't think I was going to like, but I did.  My only complaint is that the movie is over 2 hours long and didn't need to be.  With that said, you should still see the movie.

Nicholson plays an old record executive that has never been married and loves to date much younger women then himself.  Keaton plays a divorced successful playwright that is the mother of the woman Nicholson is currently dating.  When Nicholson and the girlfriend go away for the weekend to her mother's beachfront home they think they'll have the house to themselves.  Unfortunately, her mother and her aunt are both already there and they decide to all stay for the weekend and get to know each other.  At first Nicholson and Keaton do not get along at all.  Nicholson decides he will leave in the morning, but first he wants to have sex for the first time with his new girlfriend.  While they are making out, he suffers a heart attack and has to go to the local hospital.  The doctor keeps him for a few days but insists that if he doesn't want to stay in the hospital, he must stay close so that the doctor can still observe him before completely releasing him.  The only compromise is for Nicholson to stay with Keaton, and neither one really likes the idea, but they agree to it.  Meanwhile, the doctor, who is played by Reeves, really likes Keaton and eventually hits on her.  After a few days of spending time together alone at the house, Keaton and Nicholson find common ground and start to appreciate each other's company.  A love triangle develops between Reeves, Nicholson, and Keaton, and the outcome is worth watching.

I give it a 4 out 5 for surprising me with a good story.
