Love is a minefield.
You put yourself back together, then stupidly take another step. Adam, two, Kate, 13. The movie breezily and wittily traces the blush of early love, the comfortable settling that follows, the commiseration when tragedy strikes, the sexual boredom after years with the same companion. Kate and Adam ultimately face the challenge of maintaining their friendship after they've parted as lovers, a notion Breiman borrowed from her own life. Kate's borderline promiscuity also bends the studio mold.
