I just can't understand how some people could write a script like this and other people would say: Oh yeah, that sounds like a great story, let's go on an do this movie! How? Just how? And why are so many good actresses wasting theirselves for such a crap movie like that?

It has no story, it has no intelligent dialogue, it only contains slow motion of three moms who get drunk and sexualize everything while playing awful music and pretending they are having the time of their lives! Nobody is really believing that, at least i hope so.

Maybe there could have been done a good movie about how it is to be a mother in Christmas time, about the stress and pressure and everything - but this is just a joke. And unfortunately not even a funny one.

I know that probably most of you love a series that contains suspense, action, betrayal, passionate love, freedom and fear, just like Homeland, The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones. I too love those series! But nevertheless my most favourite TV-series is about a more or less "normal" family in Germany. About a father, who works as an officer at the Navy and is the reason, why the whole family has to move so often. About a mother, who wants to teach again and has to deal with all the problems that pop up when you're at the same school as your kids. About the four Children, three boys and a girl, who couldn't be more different but who always stick together when something happens to the other ones. And last but not least about a grandmother who always feels a little bit like an outsider and tries to hold the chaos together.

There is (almost) no blood, (almost) no betrayal, (almost) no suspense or action. Nobody has to fight for their lives, but there sure is a lot of (passionate) love, a lot of tears and problems to solve (the one way or the other) and that's the reason why this series is just so absolutely great! Because it manages to put so much humor, wise saying and lovely and heart-warming characters in every episode so that you never get bored, even if nothing much is happening. So if you haven't seen it yet, you better go ahead and watch it! I promise you won't regret it!

They say it's never too late for love. Normally we associate dating and finding a love interest with people under fifty. So we tend to forget the older ones because we assume they already or still have their partner or if they don't that they are simply not interested in finding love anymore. But one needs love and a special one to rely on their whole life.

This movie focuses on finding this very special love in the "third part of life". Different characters meet at a speed dating event. The six men and seven women have limited time to talk with each other and see how they are getting along. They all have different lives, different pasts and different visions of how they want their life to go on and their partner to be, but what unites them is the search for love and the hope to find it. No matter how old they are, what they do or where they come from, this is a chance for everyone of them to end their loneliness and begin again.

The movie shows this search in a special way and reminds us that it is not a question of age to find a partner and fall in love.
