Attack of the 42 Year-Old Man

Recently I blogged about 37-year old women, and within one week, just happened to watch three movies, each featuring a 42-year old man going through his midlife crisis;

• Al Pacino as Frank Keller in Sea of Love with Ellen Barkin.
• Danny Aiello as Johnny Cammareri in Moonstruck, also starring 37-year old Loretta whom I mentioned in my blog Attack of the 37 Year-Old Woman
• Kevin Spacey as Lester Burnham in American Beauty

Movies, not literature, I know, but a story is a story, right? Plus, a movie starts with a screenplay or sometimes a book anyway, so…literature! (But if the movie sucks, is it illiterature?)

I found it interesting that women seem to hit their midlife crisis about five years sooner than men. Now, I know this is not an in-depth study of people with too much worrying about too little, but even the superficial coincidence struck me as funny.
