LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this movie. It was so realistic. The movie was so moving and relates to everyone on some level. Would recommend this to anyone.

Great movie!! Very touching. Bring tissues!

As much as I liked this movie. It was a bit (not depressing )to real for my taste. I guess I'm not a big fan of that kind of drama. The old if its not one thing its another. But having said that, Helen Hunt was really good in her role. Bette Midler played Bette Midler not bad. If you like watching other people and their problems by all means go see it.

I would like to point out for those who are dense: Helen Hunt produced and directed this movie. She helped write the screenplay--and she was NOT miscast. I LOVE that she doesn't look like a piece of plastic and that you can actually see the lines on her face. She has a gorgeous heart and a wonderful talent. If you don't want to see wrinkles, go to an action or sci-fi flick, people!! Colin Firth was amazing. His vulnerabilities were portrayed with subtle grace. I was initially questioning whether Bette Midler was appropriate b/c she tends to irritate me--but she was thoughtful and precise-something I have never seen from her. Matthew Broderick also gave a fine performance. Though there were some parts of the film that could have used better editing--I thought it was an inspiring and very touching story. I think the tone of the film was near-perfect and very true. I recommend it to those who appreciate the difficulties of mature relationships-romantic or otherwise.

Good solid chick flick! I am a guy, enjoyed it even though I didn't shed any tears during ti.
