I thought this movie had a lot of heart. I shed some tears at the end.
The above first review is completely misleading, and as a result , I - (1) almost didn't want to see the movie, and (2) while viewing this movie kept anticipating a different reaction from William Hurt..

Nice slice of life story about love and trust. I really enjoyed this film and the acting. A very believable and sweet story.
