The Rebound

Sandy (Catherine Zeta Jones) is 40 years old and lives a comfortable life with her husband and 2 young children just outside New York City. But while she's looking at her son's birthday dvd, she discovers her husband has been cheating on her and she's forced to move to the city and find her first job since college.

Aram (Justin Bartha) is 24 years old and lives on the upper west side of New York City with his wealthy parents and is struggling with the fact that his french wife only married him to be able to stay in the country.

After a chance meeting in the coffee shop below her apartment and a flippant comment by his friend, Aram ends up babysitting Sandy's children while she reluctantly goes on a blind date. Aram gets on great with Sadie & Frank and with Sandy's job becoming more demanding, he starts spending more and more time with the family until the mutual attraction becomes too much and Sandy and Aram give in to their feelings for each other.

But while it's no issue for Aram, Sandy can't forget about the age gap between them feeling that Aram should be experiencing life instead of filling a role in a ready made family.

A typical rom-com with a predictable storyline, but a different ending to what I was expecting.
