I, unlike some of the other viewers, liked this movie. It's a serious story about a divorced woman with a little daughter who falls in love again and the effects that love could have on her custody arrangements. I would definitely recommend it.

This movie lacked any real substance except to maybe a woman who let her poor judgement affect the custody of her child. The results and outcome could have been completed in about half the time of the slow attempt at dramatizing the movie. Liam was weak in his performance and Dianne Keaton lacked the real emotion of someone losing a daily contact with their child. I would suggest watching something else for your precious time.

It's clear that some individuals don't understand the concept of the rating system. It is idiotic to state that a movie is bad because it contains nudity or profanity, when it has been given an "R" rating for...wow: Nudity, Adult Situations, Strong Sexual Content, Not For Children, Adult Language, Profanity. If you can't handle a movie containing those elements, don't rent it. This movie is well produced and acted, based on an even better book. It does require however an open-minded, intelligent audience.

Kinsey is on the weird line as well. Not saying dont rent it, but dont expect a whole lot out of this one! Dont say I didnt warn you!

A difficult storyline, with cause and effect so easily misinterpreted with a sad ending.

Thought I would love the movie because I like Liam Neeson and Diane Keaton. WRONG! It was a waste of time. Bad story line, nudity, profanity, bad subject matter . . . bad all the way!
