Trivia
In the doctor's office when Zara (Joey King) asks her mother Brooke (Nicole Kidman), "What is he, like 20 years younger than you?" referring to Chris (Zac Efron), her mom responds, "Sixteen." Kidman is 20 years older than Efron.

Goofs
Around 25 minutes in, Chris arrives at Zara's house in a black Cadillac, pulling up right outside the front door; when Zara arrives home the car is no longer there.

Quotes
Leila Ford: No great tryst ever started with someone being rational.

Lacks important aspects

I am a bit of a sucker for films that don't require much thought. I love romances and I am all for something light-hearted.

There is no chemistry between Kidman and Efron. Their interactions are uncomfortable and unbelieveable. Kidman is a great actress but this was not the right film for her talents.

I didn't mind the concept or the scrips and I could have happily watched this film multiple times if casting had worked better. Chemistry is so vital.

Joey King is good as is Kathy Bates but that is it.

If you want an age difference romance with leads that are credible and naturally pleasing I recommend The Idea of You with Anne Hathaway and Nicolas Galitzine - chemistry that is believable.
