In this mawkish romantic comedy drama, a recently widowed architect (David Duchovny) falls in love with the beautiful young waitress (Minnie Driver) who received his late wife's heart in a transplant two years before. It's a rather grisly premise for an otherwise lightweight affair, and actress Bonnie Hunt (Jumanji, Beethoven), here making her directorial debut, struggles to carry it off. Furthermore, Duchovny makes for a dour leading man and Driver is strangely subdued as his impossibly perfect love interest, and their performances pall beside the accomplished support playing of veterans Robert Loggia, Carroll O'Connor and Eddie Jones. Joely Richardson appears briefly as Duchovny's doomed spouse, while Hunt, who co-wrote the screenplay with Don Lake, takes a supporting role.

Highly recommended
This film is a gem! Isn't it always the way when you don't expect a film to be anything special it just knocks you right off your feet? This is such a film.
I couldn't find fault in this film at all, it's great from start to finish. The music is great and the scenes with the old men sitting around the table in the restaurant are priceless!
Duchovny and Driver are good in the role, roles I didn't think either would pull off but they did. A great romantic light hearted drama that will appeal to most people. Get a nice drop of wine and a take away and settle back with your loved one and enjoy - worth renting. -

Minnie Driver - not her best choice of film role
Nothing actively wrong but doen't grab your attention either - Duchovny not on song and who thought Minnie Driver and Joely Richardson should have fake mid Altantic accents?
