Overall I found this film somewhat hysterical. Bill Murray isn't convincing of having been a ladies man and is a very worn down looking 55 year old in 2005.
Keep in mind Sharon Stone was 46-7 and they tried to make her unsuccessfully appear like a woman who could go for "Don" with her nymphomaniac daughter named "Lolita" (bad book, bad Kubrick film).
Conroy at 52-53 and still doing 6 Feet Under seemed like "The One" that Don messed up....but was turned awkward by her clearly unhappy marriage to Ron as well as Ron being exactly like he was in the doofy comedy "Happy Gilmore" as "Shooter McGaven" just a guy you love to hate (which is a difficult acting task).
Jessica Lange looking 57 with whatever work/Botox she had done appeared like a more embittered resentful ex...dooping mentally disturbed pet owners who falls for her scam. Hell she falls for her scam. It's clear she really dislikes him and blames him for her empty vain life.
Now why Don would have thought from the exterior of the home, that approaching Tilda was definitely not worth the ramifications, and is beyond my understanding she also would be the youngest at 42 is beyond my understanding. Don has been established as one who prefers to avoid confrontations that's how Winston pushes him into this ridiculous "mystery" so easily.
Good or bad reunions Don comes to realise that his philandering was temporal and he has no legacy...he sort of snaps chasing after some troubled kid as a result...I found that end to be unnecessary. It distracts from the protagonists emptiness and shifts him to lunatic.
I didn't expect to find out if it was his recent ex, or a conversation with Winston about rethinking his life.
But a man who achieved material success, success in the boudoir, but not in his interpersonal connections and that's a wide spread issue amongst many upper middle class successful men and women, and sends an overly powerful message.
What I felt lacking most is hypothetically Don was with these women prior to his computer success he was 35...and they're all on a personality level very different. What did Don do for a living back then, I assume they weren't one stands otherwise they wouldn't have recognised Don. So I would have liked a picture of who Don was 20 years ago.
Quality film on the entertaining feel good scale not really and as mentioned it's predictable so I was debating 6-7 and went 6.
