Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Seth Aicklen I just saw this movie 11 years after release, so won't try to compete with or expand upon the many insightful, comprehensive, detailed past reviews. The truth is that I couldn't if I tried. I can offer up my reaction though. I avoided this film for years due to the title alone, inferring that it must be some kind of rom-com, chick-flick, lesbian or Amazon type. I really like it though. The story was somewhat predictable as it progressed, but pleasantly so. The main characters are smart, insightful and likeable, and I rooted for them. It isn't a complex, deeply layered story with many possible interpretations, that you don't quite understand even after 10 viewings. If you need that, go there. If you'd enjoy a nice relaxing story, try this one.

schulmange Traditional Hollywood story. Boy meets girl. Although that's pretty much all that happens. He doesn't get the girl so he can't lose her or get her back.Mainly he acts as a sounding board to the various women in the movie.The ostensible story is that boy goes to the Detroit suburbs (actually Vancouver) to take care of his ailing grandmother, played by Olympia Dukakis. There are several stretches of the movie where Grandma simply disappears. No, she doesn't wander off. She is just not in the story. The writer can't handle that sort of conflict by having the A and B story lines cross.The girl's Father is played by Clark Gregg, whose screen time is less than a minute. He delivers one little speech of maybe two lines and then he is simply not around. He is allegedly having an affair, but not much is made of that. Whether his affair is the cause of the Mother and Daughter's unhappiness and need to talk to Adam Brody, or whether he is having an affair because he is bored with them as much as I was, was not explored.Written and directed by Jon Kasdan, who played a kid in "The Big Chill."

moonspinner55 Writer-director Jon Kasdan puts this glossy, superficial comedy-drama together like a preconceived jigsaw puzzle. You can even count the scenes like pieces: actress dumps writer, writer discusses life with disaffected mom, writer goes to live with dying grandma, writer gets involved with unfulfilled housewife across the street, housewife has a lump in her breast, housewife's daughter can't relate to mom, housewife's husband is having an affair that nobody cares about. Meanwhile, Kasdan's dialogue sounds like it's been filtered through the mismatched scenes of a nighttime soap, an endless stream of self-conscious confessions dotted with a writer's in-jokes. We in the audience have nothing much to wait for except the teenage girl's declaration of devotion to her "cold, distant" mother, the grandma's demise, and the young man's independence from the starlet whom he never really loved. Cast is talented yet not really convincing in these roles. The film isn't even efficiently made; it's a scattershot attempt at bringing together the hearts of these emotionally-impaired people, scored with rock tunes by Huey Lewis, INXS and Bruce Springsteen. Commercial interruptions will fit right in. * from ****

Armand at first sight, a romantic film. part of long series about feelings, meetings, root of past and drops of confessions. in fact, a beautiful analysis of desires, expectations, fruits of profound search of happiness. the cast is perfect - fragile Adam Brody , delicate performance , rich in nuances ,of Meg Ryan, Kristen Steward in a nice role and admirable Olympia Dukakis as grandmother, key - character for a movie about vanitas vanitatum.about real things as result of self definition. it is a very special film. nothing new - many dramas are made with same ingredients - but with real touching flavor. subject for reflection , it is image of good, profound work. so, see it !
