Can we find love on The Rebound?

The Rebound explores a new angle to the romantic comedy starring Catherine Zeta Jones in one of her less glamorous roles. The humour gets a thumbs-up and saves the movie from being a long-winded stretch. I however fail to make the romantic connection between a 40-year-old falling for her 25-year-old nanny.
Can we find love on The Rebound?

Jones plays Sandy a divorced mother of two who is desperately trying to get her life together and find a new job. Her hum-drum lifestyle quickly turns around when she finds herself falling for Aram (Justin Bartha from Failure to Launch) whom she hires to help out with the kids.

Aram is a college graduate struggling to make a break in his career and doesn't have much going for him until he becomes 'the nanny'. He is also a recent divorcee after learning that his ex-wife only used him to get a green card to stay in the country. Sandy's kids take an instant liking to him but can this relationship survive or is it on the rebound?

If you like fairytale love and need a dose of far-fetched romance then hang in there with this one!
