A doctor learns there's more to his profession than making money in this comedy-drama. Charlie Keegan (Robert Capelli Jr.) is a physician who has built up a lucrative practice by caring more about profits and working the loopholes of medical insurance claims than looking after the needs of his patients. While Keegan's scams allow him to live high for a while, eventually his misdeeds catch up with him, and when he's found guilty of insurance fraud, as part of his sentence he's ordered to spend six months doing volunteer work at Shady Pines, an nursing home for the elderly that has seen better days. With the help of Jill (Emmanuelle Chriqui), a pretty and compassionate nurse who works at the home, Keegan makes friends with his often eccentric patients and learns to deal with the other members of the staff and their many problems. In time, Keegan finds himself looking at the Shady Pines residents as people rather than clients, and gains a new perspective on himself and his career; he also finds himself falling in love with the idealistic Jill. Also starring Pat Hingle, Betsy Palmer, Paige Turco, and Artie Lange, Waltzing Anna was the first directorial effort from the team of Doug Bollinger and Bx Giongrete. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Attending a society auction with Michel (Yanic Truesdale), Lorelai is mildly attracted to Peyton Sanders (Jon Hamm), scion of a wealthy family. Emily (Kelly Bishop) encourages Lorelai to cultivate a relationship with Sanders -- even after Lorelai has come to the conclusion that the man is a crashing bore. Meanwhile, Rory (Alexis Bledel) agrees to take care of the lawn belonging to her weird neighbor Dwight (Jason Kravits), but is unable to shut off the sprinkler system -- a minor inconvenience that leads to major complications when Jess (Milo Ventimiglia) shows up to help Rory out. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
