He works hard to draw her out, to get her to embrace the Costa Rican motto, "Pura Vida," which means "pure life," but in a broader sense encompasses the national exuberance for living.

An unusual but lovely romantic relationship evolves.
Leave your thoughts about After Words.
| Village VoiceMeave GallagherFeldman, having established all his stereotypes, refuses to push them beyond the motions you know they have to go through from the first scene of lonely Jane crying into her cat's fur. |
| Austin ChronicleSteve DavisPredictable but never coy about it, After Words speaks to the fateful connection that sometimes occurs between two people under the most improbable circumstances. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinThe good news about After Words is that it offers Marcia Gay Harden a rare film lead. The bad news: Harden's role in this groan-worthy dramedy is so dreary and ill-conceived that even her formidable talents can't bring it to life. |
| jackiekcooper.comJackie K. Cooper"After Words" is a showcase for the unique talents of Marcia Gay Harden. |
| ObserverRex ReedAfter Words is part adventure, part love story, part travelogue, and all as synthetic as rayon. |
| Arizona RepublicRandy CordovaPat and silly, the movie offers a wheezy moral that a buttoned-up American just needs a sensitive Latino and some ethnic cuisine to end the blues. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierDirector Juan Feldman trusts his actors to charm us, which they do — up to a point. But there’s only so much that can be wrung out of this spinster-meets-exotic stud, “Summertime”-lite affair. |
| The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerMs. Harden is fine in a role that requires little, but her character is a lazy stereotype that ought to make real librarians wince. |
| User ReviewWilliam SDelightful. But just because I loved it, don't take that as an indication of it's ending - a good story can lead to many destinations. |
| User ReviewMary BI love Marcia Gay Harden and this movie did keep me guessing. |
