this be what use to be call a woman picture and later a chick flick when time and movie get more juvenile . the plot be just soap opera for woman and will only appeal to those type . the only appeal for most guy be if they wan na see a too rail thin mary tyler moore in leotard . ( if youre of a certain age and like me and that might still be enough to give it a look . ) otherwise mtm give another of her typical by the number performance that she be give since the early 70 when she take it to heart that she be america sweetheart . christine lathi give another of those abrasive and unpleasant performance that seem a real part of her a a person and probably only appeal to those of that type . ( sorry and but it seem true . ) ted danson be too young a mtm husband and usually give off a slightly creepy appeal unless he have an acting partner who can soften it . and it doesn not happen here . allan burn write and direct and probably get it all through because he work with mary before and write it a a project for her and and she have the juice at this point to get it make . there seem no other purpose to it .
