About

Synopsis

Flirting with Forty (2008), directed by Mikael Salomon — watch online on iFILM. Heather Locklear plays Jackie Lawrence, a recently divorced mother of two who turns forty and books a solo trip to Hawaii with no particular expectations. She meets a surfing instructor. He is thirteen years younger.

What starts as a sun-soaked fling doesn't end when her flight home departs. Back in her ordinary life — her kids, her ex-husband (Cameron Bancroft), her best friend (Vanessa Williams) who thinks this is just a midlife glitch — Jackie has to decide what the Hawaii version of herself actually wants. The film is based on Jane Porter's novel of the same name.

Locklear plays it without melodrama, which is the right call: the story earns its weight by treating Jackie's choice as genuinely complicated rather than obviously wrong. Stream Flirting with Forty (2008) online on iFILM.
