Brilliant film

Briliant film for all single women to watch, so that they learn to recognise the good men in life, that you should date, as opposed to the arrogant losers that you shouldn't. In essence, it's like Bridget Jones, just set in New York and filmed in the Eighties, with less of the shmaltz and more of the pickles.

How life should be - and sometimes can be

Saw this movie many years ago and loved it - a soft and gentle romance with a touch of nostalgia.

Saw it again on tv last night and realised that somehow it mirrored what I'd been through the past few years. I was always the one who fell for the intellectual, silver-tongued types who used me, put me down and let me down. Until one day I met a very different sort, who made me laugh, and had the patience to woo me in a somewhat old-fashioned but doggedly persistent way.

Seeing this again really brought it home to me how much happiness is possible if you just give yourself enough room to discover it.
