Cougar Club - Movie Review

Rating: 2 out of 5

What movie do Faye Dunaway, Carrie Fisher, and Joe Mantegna have in common? That's right: Cougar Club!

Yes, the "MILF" craze has gotten so popular that even big stars (or at least people that used to be big stars) will show up for a MILF-oriented sex comedy.

There is indeed a "Cougar Club" in the film: Two layabout college grads found an organization that charges young guys like themselves $500 for the chance to party and socialize with cougars. Or, in hipster parlance, older women (typically those that "prey" on younger guys). Why anyone feels the need to pay is a mystery, here. These women are portrayed as willing to drop their panties at the slightest hint of a younger guy. They rarely even stop to ask his name before dragging him to the bedroom, or maybe the kitchen.

No, Cougar Club is not the nuanced rom-com that you were probably expecting.
