Looks lovely! As a "more mature" person it, of course, strikes a chord with me. Besides, I love Meryl and Tommy Lee!! Here's one review:

A slice of older life - Quietly & beautifully acted, 13 July 2012

Author: dragora116 from United States

A slightly-over-middle-age couple finds themselves in more than a rut, post-post empty nest. What to do?

An overly-simplified plot outline for a lovely, sweet, funny, sad, quiet movie that allows the cast's acting talents to shine. A great script with spot-on character development. None of your over-dramatics here.

We all know about Meryl Streep & Tommy Lee Jones, but even they deliver some newness. But Steve Carell gives us a nuanced performance without the smallest hint of shtick. Notice Elisabeth Shue in a small part that delivers big. As well as Jean Smart & Mimi Rogers.

Don't miss this one.

Ya know, I've always loved Tommy Lee Jones. Back in the day, I used to watch soaps. He was on One Life To Live. Of all the people who have come and gone from the soaps, he made an impression on me. I don't know exactly why, but I knew even then that he would "go places". Women still find him sexy. He seems genuine and hasn't fought aging like so many other actors. Even in the 70's his face was pock-marked and craggy. I've pretty much loved him in every role I've seen.
