Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Admirable film.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Really bad movie, boring, predictable characters, poor acting. I gave up after 30 minutes

When I watched the preview I decided it would be worth a try and I'm glad I took the time. It is a rom-com with an all star, all mature cast. But it is about more than romantic love. In fact, it is mostly about the love of family and friends. It makes you think about what constitutes a full life. It is about sticking by the people in your life life even when they are messy and need different things. Romantic love is only a fraction of the experience. And that is the point. I recommended it to a couple of my friends and can't wait to talk to them about it.

The chemistry between Sharon Stone and Tony Goldwyn works pretty well here, but I'm wondering, as other reviewers have mentioned, why first time writer and director Susan Walter chose to initially present Stone as a 46-year-old? Since Goldwyn is soon to be 58 in real life just two years her junior (as Stone is 60) , wouldn't it have been even more real and effective to start out presenting Stone's character Senna as a 56-year-old woman, who ages per the film's main premise. She is still so vivacious and beautiful that, at least in my mind, this would have enhanced the film even more.Overall, I thought parts of this movie were charming and effective while other parts fell flat and were just not believable. Also, the characters were too surfacy for my tastes and never really developed fully. So, a mixed bag for me here and only a fair rating.

An aspiring fashion designer struggles to find success and love. The story cuts into her life once a year, always on the same date: her birthday. A Little Something for Your Birthday packs a great and talented cast of actors like Sharon Stone (Total Recall, Basic Instict), Tony Goldwyn (The 6th Day, The Mechanic) and Famke Janssen (X-Men Trilogy, Taken Trilogy) and with a Cast of those big names the end result is rather disappointing which is an uneven romantic, comedy, drama that hardly does anything that we haven't seen before with lot's of predictable plot recycling and a Sharon Stone who hasn't made a decent film since the 90's. Overall not a film that i would recommend to be honest. (4/10)
