rating: 5 QuoteExcellent acting by all stars-A movie with immediate insiteQuote
Enjoyable movie that doesn't waste time letting you in on the feelings and problems of all the characters involved in a most down to earth, comical way that holds your interest from begining to end. Delightful story about a bunch of messed up grown-ups, who through the relentless efforts of an equally messed up, but very determined adolesent, all eventually find the road to love and happiness. Excellent performances by all stars. April 4, 2002

This is a romantic comedy about a writer who temps as a security guard in a school. He discovers that Sarandon is sending her son to a school out of her district and in the process of his investigation, becomes interested and empathetic to the child and falls in love with Sarandon. The story is realistic and funny, and one of the great early dreyfuss/sarandon films. December 23, 2000

rating: 5 QuoteAn Excellent MovieQuote
This movie is one of the very best I've ever seen. A light-hearted comedy starring Richard Dryfus and Susan Sarandon, it portrays a a profound friendship that eventually leads to a love match. I highly recommend it. Now, if the studio would only release it because I would love to own it. October 9, 1999

rating: 2 QuoteBoring tale that even Sarandon and Dreyfuss can't save.Quote
Susan Sarandon plays a single mom who dates boorish men, Richard Dreyfuss is a school security guard who can't convince his girlfriend to marry him. In an oh-so-predictable plot, Sarandon's son (Wil Wheaton) tries every trick in the book to get them together. Wheaton is obnoxiously whiny, not cute, as the slow moving tale winds its way towards a sappy ending. A few laughs, but not worth the trouble. April 12, 1999
