Most importantly, this film is for those of us who have not lost the spirit and zest for life that we had when we were 21. For those of us who feel irrelevant in a fast moving workplace as newer, fresher, younger employees enter the fray, or for those of us who sit with our children at our feet and regard our single friends with envy, assuming their life is one big party.
