| Movie EyeFrank OchiengA lifeless domestic drama that drags its sentimental heels about the childless stagnation of a middle-aged couple. Want an emotional uplift? Attend a PTA meeting instead! |
| User ReviewSarahA movie I didn't want to see, but did. Cryed soooo hard in the end. Will stay with me forever. |
| User ReviewStacy DA movie I didn't want to see, but did. Cryed soooo hard in the end. Will stay with me forever. |
| User ReviewLee MGlenn Close, James Woods ? Please. They are incredible and so believable in this. |
| User ReviewDianna DEqually brilliant and meaningful today in 2009 as the first time I watched in 1989. Realistic portrayals, powerful soundtrack and genuine emotion. While the subject matter has its sad moments, there are appropriately timed smiles and thought provoking silences. |
| User ReviewLisa WLove this movie. Simple, raw and real...four great actors are what really pull this film together. One of my most quoted lines from this movie is, "Only one of us gets be crazy at a time." |
| User ReviewMarcyThis is one of my all time favorites! Of course it hits close to home! |
| User ReviewZarinah Hlove this movie, the red hair baby is so cute! |
| User ReviewDanette/Dani AI felt as if I was in the movie myself. Lucy seemed fine with a few doubts but her bf worried me. Young couples having children are just not ready and it seems they always change their minds and the adopted parents get hurt the worst when they change their minds. Sometimes it's the money but usually it's after the birth. Had me in tears. Great acting by all. |
| User ReviewPrivate UIf it's the movie I think it is, it's pretty movie-of-the-week, after-school-specialish, but it was still pretty watchable. |
