Hot Romcom Mamas: The Idea of You/Mother of the Bride/A Family Affair

Send us a text

I'm child free but Anne Hathaway, Brooke Shields and Nicole Kidman are the hottest of hot mamas in these romcoms, and make motherhood look like living your best life on steroids. It's a difficult enough job without worrying if you qualify for the MILF label like these ladies do, and sure, they're guilty of mothering while sexy and gorgeous. But these actresses of a certain age playing mothers of a certain age taking a chance on hot lovers and age-gap romance also act out the real challenges of showing up for yourself, your desires and those you love, at any age.

There's nothing like a second chance romance — but maybe not sprung on you at your daughter's destination wedding, which she would very much like to live stream.

"I went a little crazy. I'm allowed, right?" Yes, yes you are.

"Did I not warn you? People hate happy women." This trailer is a bit all over the place, so just grab a beverage and a snack, snuggle under a blanket and watch this movie. Totally worth it.

Yes, why does it take longer to find love when you get older?
