I Could Never Be Your Woman is a 2007 American romantic comedy film written and directed by Amy Heckerling and starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Paul Rudd, with Sarah Alexander, Stacey L. Dash, Jon Lovitz, Fred Willard, Saoirse Ronan, and Tracey Ullman.
Due to the show's declining ratings, Rosie's boss Marty tells the writers to avoid any potentially controversial subjects.
Nevertheless, Rosie's insecurity over her age surfaces, egged on by her internal conversations with Mother Nature, and she tells Adam she is not sure that their relationship will work, to his confusion.
Despite this, Adam makes numerous attempts to reconcile, including refusing to film the new sitcom he has been offered until Marty hires her as a producer.
Later, while viewing a bloopers reel of You Go Girl, Rosie realizes it was filmed when the speeding ticket claimed Adam had been driving with Brianna, and correctly deduces that Jeannie was behind it.
Heckerling's inspiration for I Could Never Be Your Woman came from her own personal life as a single mother raising a young daughter during the making of the Clueless television series.
According to Missy Schwartz in an Entertainment Weekly article on the film, "Every day, she felt increasingly ambivalent about working in an industry that promotes unrealistic standards of beauty for young girls and considers women over 40 to be prehistoric beasts.
"[1] Heckerling sent her script for Woman to Paramount Pictures, but the studio was unnerved by the idea of backing a film about an older female protagonist.
[1][5] Internationally, I Could Never Be Your Woman received a theatrical release beginning in Spain on May 11, 2007, followed by several countries in Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa.
"[5] Joe Leydon of Variety called it "[a] desperately unfunny mix of tepid showbiz satire and formulaic romantic comedy".
