Another good one! My mother loved this movie. Everytime I see it, I always think of her.
Greg Kinnear did an excellent job portraying a gay man(He is a Hoosier too. He's from Logansport, Indiana), as did Cuba Gooding Jr.
And of course I loved Helen Hunt too. Of course, I am a big fan of hers. :D

Good, not great movie. Loved Greg Kinnear and the dog!

Quite watchable and rentable. And speaking of 'ables, Greg Kinnear is always so likable! Two quibables about that one, though. I am sick sick sick of movies in which
1) A 60-something man is paired romantically with a 30-something woman and their age difference is barely even commented upon or made an issue. Whereas, if the genders were reversed, for a much older woman/younger man pairing -- which has happened mabe twice in the history of cinema -- it would be the whole point of the movie.
2) The title doesn't tell us anything whatsoever about the movie, so it's instantly forgettable and doesn't conjure any images when you hear it later. For instance, this time I saw the title on the thread and thought, let's see, is that the one with Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton? (No, that's Something's Gotta Give, which has the same problem.)

I think I remember liking it, but I haven't seen it in years. Katherine is right, it has sort of a forgettable quality to me too.

I loved that little dog too. What was his name? Verdel? I wonder what kind of dog he is. I have seen those dogs before, but I can't remember what the name of the breed is. I loved the interaction between the little dog and Jack Nicholson. Classic! :D
