• The best movie ever... in my opnion!

  Andersioh2002-03-16

  Hi, I'm Ander and I'm a 19 year old guy. This movie make me cry at a certain point. I haven't cried over a movie since 'dumbo', when I was about ten years old. But this story just clenched to my heart. It's romantic, sad, happy, beautiful and realistic. And the actors play their roles excellent. If you haven't seen this movie: go see it!! It's so great. I have seen it and I will see it again, and again and again. And so should you. Do not miss it!

• Sweet and Realistic

  I loved Kimberly Williams in "Father of the Bride" and Campbell Scott in "Dying Young" and they were just so cute in this film. I couldn't believe how Mark could walk out on Diane and Julia like that, it was disgusting and it makes you wonder about the real life struggles single mothers face. It was sweet how Dave was always in love with her and stood by her no matter what happened to her and Julia. Something I reckon if your into feel good movies

• True and somewhat Heartwarming

  I just finished seeing this film, and to be honest I just turned in because nothing else was on and it starred Kimberly Williams in a leading role. I was very surprised how the film got to me, it wasn't artificial Hollywood feelings or the great cinematography as you see it in Sam Mendes and co. great dramatic films. This film just has a lot of great actors, a subtle soundtrack and a great story. This is definitely one of the best TV-films I've ever seen, that didn't star a mayor Hollywood name or several. This is the league of In a Class of His Own which I also find quiet good, but this one is a bit better.

• An amazing, heartwarming movie

  TheArgentWolf2007-12-29

  I have seen this movie twice now, and think it is so touching and brilliant, it brings tears to my eyes every time. The closeness of Julia and Amy is beautiful, and I find myself crying at the screen at Amy's hardships, and at times, such as when Buddy takes Amy's dog, I can't watch because it's too painful. But that only goes to show how well acted it is. The performance shown by both Kimberley Williams and Amanda and Caitlin Fein is outstanding, as is Alexa's performance. The bond that develops between Amy and Dianne is also beautiful, and unforgettable. Seeing this has made me want to read the novel, and I would definitely recommend everyone saw this movie.

• I love this movie!

  While on the surface this seems like a 'girl marries wrong guy' movie, it truly is so much more. The storyline moves a bit too fast, so you must pay attention...very close attention. After Dianne and Mark find out their baby will be born with genetic disorders, Mark wants to abort the pregnancy; Dianne refuses - Mark takes off. Evidently Mark has unresolved issues about his mother's death in a hospital - but the movie gives very few details or background, so Mark doesn't generate any sympathy from the viewer. If only he were more like his brother, David (the excellent Campbell Scott) - the soft-spoken, long-suffering doctor who keeps his love for Dianne to himself while helping her to take care of his niece. The supporting cast is very good, especially Alexa Vega. The ending is a real tear-jerker (get the tissues ready), and my favorite part of the movie. Some people don't care for these simple movies about triumphing over adversity, but I think it's wonderful - and you will too.
