A Charming Film And Solid Effort from Start To Finish,
Although this film had all the earmarks of the dreaded stereotypical 'chick flick' and/or 'yenta-fest', I enjoyed it thoroughly, because in the end it was a charming, mature film about real life and real people, one which can be enjoyed on many levels by anyone who has a heart.
The script was solid, the editing spot on, the cinematography taut (especially the close-ups), the actors all on top of their games, and the fact that all these well-known stars are showing their age (and character!) in their faces just added to the feeling of genuine emotion and augmented the audience ability to empathize with the characters.
I went in not expecting much and came out EXTREMELY satisfied... all the more impressed because it was Ms. Hunt's big screen directorial and writing debut. -
