IMDb
Directed by Thomas Bezucha, starring Claire Danes & Diane Keaton.
Rating: ***
Overall, a romance almost good enough to bring tears to your eyes. Claire Danes turns in a nice performance. Diane Keaton is not particularly impressive, but doesn't detract much either. The character Everett Stone is wishy washy and unattractive. Sarah Jessica Parker, though -- she's very convincing as the uptight, stuck-up city girl, and then, when she falls apart, she's convincing then, too. I think she made this movie, which is odd, because I'm not particularly a fan of hers, which can only mean she did some damn fine acting.
What is really good is the story. The production values are nice, too. We get a picture of a family in the throes of struggling with life, and it is a generally hopeful picture. I can't give it four stars, but I think it warrants a view, and maybe even a second view later on.
