I am in this age group. I cringed with embarrassment watching MW and NLG in those scenes. My feeling was that they were trying way too hard to be sexy and instead it reeked of desperation. They became the cliche: older woman trying to be young by acting overly sexualized.
Made me laugh and tell myself never to act this way.
