Off-Topic MLC Movies or others to watch
OP: January 24, 2011, 03:14:38 PM
I just watched the movie Solitary Man with Michael Douglas.  Didn't know what to expect.  It's a decent movie, all the more interesting because he's in MLC!!!!  Wondered if anyone else saw it.  And what you think.
It's available on Netflix instant and at my local Redbox.

I love "Something's Gotta Give" with Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton... lot's to love in this one! My husband and I also loved "It's Complicated" when it came out... we went together and laughed at the Alec Baldwin character and the former spouses cheating on OW with each other... little did I know what my husband was up to at the time and that we would cheat on his OW later on in his MLC.... still a fun movie!

2 years since he left... divorce was filed a year ago, nothing going on right now. Seems like he and OW are done...will take some more time! Seems comfortable being around me and the girls. Relaxed without her, but does not want me...or anyone else...all that matters are his daughters...

Devoted wife and mother.

Shrek Forever After is (believe it or not) about Midlife crisis....even mentioned in the trailers!

Home Alone Four.

Both have helped my kids understand my H's feelings and confusion (and Shrek was quite funny, gotta say).

Enjoy!  (Great thread...thanks for starting it)

Ha!  The Shreck was one I watched with D3, not realizing the MLC elements.  Cracked both of us up and D made the connection to daddy on her own.  We ended up having a bit of a talk durring the movie about people not realizing how special what they have is.

I avoid movie like that right now but to be honest I was never into "love" movies anyways.  I really liked eat pray love with julia roberts.  In a way she had a mlc and went to try and find herself.  There a few really good lines in the movie.

So someone mentioned Serious Moonlight with Meg Ryan.  I just watched it since it seems I don't really sleep at night anymore.  Anyway, I really enjoyed it.  I think they did a good job of getting into the mindset of a MLCer.  It has an interesting ending.  I recommend it.

I didn't like Eat Pray Love at all.

Something to Talk About Julia Roberts and Dennis Quaid I think may have been a touch of MLC. Sort of on both peoples parts. Infidelity was also involved in the older generation in the movie. REALLY funny most of the way through

Anyone seen the movie and or suggest getting it and trying to watch it with your spouse?  It was just a suggestion from a friend...

Any thoughts??
