Guys often fall in love with the girl next door. But what if the “girl” next door is an older woman and mother of two children? That doesn’t stop 25-year-old Aram (Justin Bartha) from falling in love with his 40-year-old neighbour, Sandy (Catherine Zeta-Jones). The couple start going out when Aram babysits Sandy’s kids, but is the age gap too much to keep them together? (Photo: Tobis Pictures 2009)
