I Could Never Be Your Woman

ComedyDramaRomance97 min

Rosie is a single mother blindsided by a relationship she didn’t expect, just as her daughter is stumbling into first love herself. Michelle Pfeiffer’s Rosie is trying to make sense of dating a younger man, with Paul Rudd as the easygoing Adam, while home becomes its own parallel coming-of-age story. Alongside them, Saoirse Ronan’s daughter is dealing with crushes, embarrassment, and the first sharp turns of adolescence. Amy Heckerling frames the two romances side by side, mixing adult insecurity, mother-daughter friction, and a light touch of whimsy as both generations try to figure out what love is supposed to look like.
