Sarah (Kate Winslet) and Brad (Patrick Wilson) meet on a playground in a suburb of Boston just as their marriage is entering a difficult period. They feel an immediate attraction. Little Children chronicles how people who are stuck in a staid, lifeless marriage struggle when they develop extra-marital romantic feelings, unexpectedly standing before a temptation they thought only other people could yield to.  The interesting part of the Little Children, however, is not this main plot, but the story of the other characters that show up in the community of Sarah and Brad: a man who had been in prison for exposing himself to little children, a crazy ex-policemen who makes it his mission to protect the community from this “pervert,” the mother of the “pervert” who tries to get her son’s mind off children by finding him a wife through newspaper ads;

and there is suburban female book club who is reading Madame Bovary just as Sarah is carrying on her extra-marital fling with Brad.
The film felt too long. Most patrons of the movie house were middle-aged men and women who wanted to see their lives on the big screen. Temptation in the movies is a lot safer than temptation in your on house!
