    Sweet and Realistic

    I loved Kimberly Williams in "Father of the Bride" and Campbell Scott in "Dying Young" and they were just so cute in this film. I couldn't believe how Mark could walk out on Diane and Julia like that, it was disgusting and it makes you wonder about the real life struggles single mothers face. It was sweet how Dave was always in love with her and stood by her no matter what happened to her and Julia.

    Something I reckon if your into feel good movies

    I love this movie!

    While on the surface this seems like a 'girl marries wrong guy' movie, it truly is so much more. The storyline moves a bit too fast, so you must pay attention...very close attention.

    After Dianne and Mark find out their baby will be born with genetic disorders, Mark wants to abort the pregnancy; Dianne refuses - Mark takes off. Evidently Mark has unresolved issues about his mother's death in a hospital - but the movie gives very few details or background, so Mark doesn't generate any sympathy from the viewer.

    If only he were more like his brother, David (the excellent Campbell Scott) - the soft-spoken, long-suffering doctor who keeps his love for Dianne to himself while helping her to take care of his niece.

    The supporting cast is very good, especially Alexa Vega. The ending is a real tear-jerker (get the tissues ready), and my favorite part of the movie.

    Some people don't care for these simple movies about triumphing over adversity, but I think it's wonderful - and you will too.

    Great Novel Adaption

    Wow! This movie was just amazing! I went out and bought the book the next day! I couldn't believe a cheesy movie of the week could be this good. The movie is honest, heart warming and truthful about the ignorance of people and the mistakes we make. We not only are left to think "Did Dianne make the right choices in the movie?" but also think "Why would I do in her situation? Should she have had Julia? Would i react the same as her husband did? Is it wrong to date your brother in law? Should Julia's doctor really have been her uncle? What should be done with abusive boyfriends and alcoholics? Great movie! Buy it when Hallmark releases the video!

    True and somewhat Heartwarming

    I just finished seeing this film, and to be honest I just turned in because nothing else was on and it starred Kimberly Williams in a leading role.

    I was very surprised how the film got to me, it wasn't artificial Hollywood feelings or the great cinematography as you see it in Sam Mendes and co. great dramatic films. This film just has a lot of great actors, a subtle soundtrack and a great story.

    This is definitely one of the best TV-films I've ever seen, that didn't star a mayor Hollywood name or several.

    This is the league of In a Class of His Own which I also find quiet good, but this one is a bit better.

    The best movie ever... in my opnion!

    Hi, I'm Ander and I'm a 19 year old guy. This movie make me cry at a certain point. I haven't cried over a movie since 'dumbo', when I was about ten years old. But this story just clenched to my heart. It's romantic, sad, happy, beautiful and realistic. And the actors play their roles excellent. If you haven't seen this movie: go see it!! It's so great. I have seen it and I will see it again, and again and again. And so should you. Do not miss it!
