    THis is avery cute story, romantic story, with two good actors. I enjoyed the uplifting story line and use of humor. It was gret to watch a Young Vince Vaughn for a couple hours....looking great!! Marcia F

    An honest look at separation, being a single parent (especially a single father). Vince Vaughn does a great job in this dramatic role. Nice supporting roles by Monica Potter and Joey Lauren Adams. Sweet performance by the young boy who plays Vaughn's son Bobby Moat.

    Vince Vaughn is great in this movie, and...good-looking too! The story is good, I have seen better but I have also seen worse than this movie! If you want to spend a good time, rent it!
