    I honestly did not remember seeing ads for this movie. It was much better than I expected. The acting was moving, and the story line was equally moving. This is a definite rental. I've told my friends about it.

    Sweet lesson to be learned here. My friends and I really enjoyed this and look at life so differently now. Sweet story!

    I love this movie. Ever since I first saw Ricky Gervis in Night at the Museum, I fell in love with his sarcastic wit. Tea Leone is well matched as his love interest. The movie is at once funny, yet touching.
