Opens May 30

Forgive the broad gender stereotyping, but if you are a woman there is nothing in the world that will keep you from this movie on opening weekend. It's the ultimate collision of cultural and biological imperatives. If you are a man, a word of advice: negotiate the terms of your surrender in advance, and hope that your enthusiastic attendance will net you some reciprocity for Tropic Thunder later this summer. The storyline has something to do with the challenges of finding and keeping love in your 30s and 40s, and the rewards of friendsh ... anyway. There'll be lots of high class New York scenery and sex talk, and apparently some outfit changes, too.
