I went and saw this movie this afternoon. It was sweet and sad and funny. I cried through half of it and laughed through the other half. I loved it!

Kate Hudson is adorable as Helen. John Corbett ~purr~ well, I think he is great in anything he does. Joan Cusack was excellent as Helen's self-sacrificing sister. I recommend it (and also recommend you bring a hankie!)

Saw it Az, I kept looking at Kate thinking, my goodness she is so like Goldie Hawn!! It was a simple movie, and I enjoyed it... total chick flick... I was wondering when John Corbett would appear, I LOVED that he played hockey in the movie, I know Goldie Hawn's son plays hockey, they even moved to Canada to support his playing... yet, Corbett as a Luthern minister, just wasnt buying it... maybe because I'm Lutheran!! :-) And I hated the setup for the Luthern school - what no secretaries? no waiting list? oh yea, it was a movie!! *grin...

In the end I'm glad I saw it, it was very enjoyable!!

Lol! Reader, I'm Lutheran, too. Corbett was believable to me because when I was growing up we had a young good looking single pastor at my church. I'm willing to bet he got a lot of brownies.

I think I liked it so much because it was simple and sweet. I kept seeing Goldie Hawn in Kate, too. :-)

Saw this movie and loved it! Crazy question though... Anyone know what kind of purse Kate was carrying during the movie? It's the brown one that I like. I am thinking it looks like a Coach purse I have seen, but more than likely it is some expensive brand I have never heard of.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Its so funny...I was talking about how much I liked "50 First Dates" and my friends all told me to watch this movie and here it this great review from you all...the fact that it has John Corbett in it makes it a "Must See!". (Who could ever forget Chris the DJ on Northern Exposure...MMMMMMMM.

it was okay - I didn't find it to be anything special.


Jen - no mention of any recognizable names in the credits re: the bag. Sry.

I saw this one last weekend and thought it had some good parenting stuff in it. I wish there was a movie like this from the male parent's perspective so I can refer a couple of clients to see it.
