Yeah - I guess it's tough to really break down the fans by demographics. Interesting point about younger people more likely to express it on the Internet. Gave me another thought (which I'll get to in a bit). I was surprised a bit by how many young people are or were on this board (based on the "iin...

Reviving an old thread... I doubt too many married couples in their 50s would like this movie - or admit they liked it. This is coming from a 50+ year old man. Think about it - Bob has this emotional connection to a young girl - about the age of the children of people in their 50s. Now they are not ...

Just a warning - there are a couple of people over there that are not only highly critical of the movie itself but also of the people who like it. That's an overgeneralization - but there is a very blunt and negative reaction to younger people who like the movie; and I see there are many people on t...

And I'll add one more (somewhat obvious) point... Presumably, not telling Lydia something comes easy for Bob - given his willingness to have one nighters with strangers like the singer (surely that was not the first, and probably not the second or third...) Have to remember he was a Hollywood actor;...

If I were Bob I would not tell Lydia either; but if somehow it came up I wouldn't try and hide it and create suspicion.

This is an old thread, but I thought I'd try a post here. Saw LiT over a month ago and have thought of it every day. Same stomach punch feeling. It's getting disruptive - but it comes from my relating it to my own experience (that I've posted in other threads). I'm too old to feel this way about a m...

Anyone interested in an older guy's point if view? In my expereince, most people probably can't see an emotional affair coming (unless they've been through one already). So in that sense I don't consider what they did cheating on any level. Bob was very much in control, as the Bill Murray interview ...

OK - so I feel out of place. Very old (over 50) but trying to deal with my own situation similar to Bob/Charlotte from many years ago. Thought I got over it but seeing the movie last month made me see I did not have the closure that Bob did (for reasons posted on another thread.)

Saw it once. Can't see it again - brings back too many memories of a similar situation that I did not end as well as Bob.

Bob/Charlotte situation

I’m glad I found this board and thread. I was in a situation around 10 years ago from the “Bob” side. That’s why this movie hit me like a ton of bricks when I saw it. Many similarities but three huge differences that conspired to make my final ending not bittersweet but disastrous. It began as a men...
