there be very few romance or romantic comedy and which strike a real note for the audience and or anyone who appreciate reality and decent acting . this film do have that . sarandon be very good while she be a down at heel waitress and almost twenty year old than the character portray by spader . some of the interaction be amuse and sad . her drinking and her loss of a child . spader background be respectable and white collar but bore and he meet sarandon after miss his deceased wife . film like this be sometimes underrated . there be not a lot of hype about this film and which be one of the reason i like it ( we do not need hollywood to tell u what good and i. e. the break up and which be actually not good ) . while the scene with spader relative be a bit stereotyped and overall there be a few good message here . life doesn not always work out how we want and perfect couple aren not necessarily happy and and the spader character be actually quite good and not be the negative insensitive character here . definitely worth view . positive .
