Cast: Andie MacDowell, Imelda Staunton, Anna Chancellor, Kenny Doughty

A chick flick, if there ever was one. Three single women in their fourties regularly get together to compare their embarrassing male conquests, but now one of them falls for a young man. The film is raunchy and entertaining in the first half when our heroine rediscovers her sexuality, but then the relationship turns serious and the story goes through increasingly ridiculous twists. The female bonds can endure anything and there's nothing that a good hug won't cure.
