This movie is a very compelling love story that is hidden underneath the stress of raising a child who has mental instability. In this particular movie I found it amazing how well they portrayed a young boy who had lost almost all functional parts of his brain due to a near drowning accident. His parents fight throughout most the movie about conflicting views of how to raise their son, until one day a plane comes through their roof. The couple inside the plane (Pepper Upper & Mr. Moody) are almost like angels to the family. They make their valentines day, a day the Bridges family will not forget. The stranded couple force the stressed parents to come to copes with each other and their son and help them to see how to enjoy their lives again. In the end the parents fight about whos fault the accident was and then realize it was both of theirs and they are able to overcome this obstacle. Then the young boy Andy asks through his artwork to be taken to a special school for children with his type of disorders. It is a truly inspirational story.

| User ReviewTed O(plagiarized from MySpace/Michelle) It's not very fast paced, and it leads you to draw your own conclusions, but if you can find it, I highly recommend it. It's unique and very well acted. |
| User ReviewPaul WRather odd sci-fi/romance flick with John Ritter, JoBeth Williams, Christopher Lloyd, Yasmine Bleeth and Kevin Zegers about a super-rich nobody who, Vegas-bound with his girlfriend on Valentine's day, crashes his plane into the roof of a couple with marital problems and an autistic son. The story is actually quite intriguing as it unfolds and keys to the couple's issues unfold, as well as the reason for their son's autism. Lloyd perfectly brings the right amount of eccentricity to his character, Mr. Moody; managing to be both completely eccentric and reserved in the same breath---genius! Bleeth, as Moody's girlfriend, Pepper Upper, is um, well, she's um?. Her acting is well suited to her character's name---essentially for show, yet adding a little pepper and spice, as well as insight, to the drama and romance unfolding around her. Ritter and Williams both give good performances as the unhappy couple. Gradually being forced to face the heart of their problems as they are subtly prodded by Moody and Pepper. Which brings us to Zegers, the final piece of this five-character puzzle. He manages the part quite well as Andy, a boy unable to form any words due to severe brain damage suffered as a toddler, who ultimately has to tell his parents what he needs to grow. Now the question is: Who is Mr. Moody? Where did he come from? Or, did Andy make him up? Watch and decide for yourself. |
| User ReviewJames HA very likeable film, a bit of an odd film, but I enjoyed it. Slightly reminiscent of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolff?", but hardly in that league. Still, well filmed and touching. Really good score. Jo Beth Williams is particularly good, as is Kevin Zegers. It moved me. |
