I loved this movie..., 7 March 2008
9/10
Author: vkenn2000 from United States

...maybe in part because I'm a romantic at heart and maybe in part because I loved the way Ms. McNichol played her character, in spite of the controversy over her mental health. She was splendid! It is the light in which I will always remember her. There were a couple of script continuity issues, but other than that it was a perfect "chick flick," (and I loved the white coat, too! Where can I find one for myself?). I'd like to know when the filming was "interrupted" with Ms. McNichols leave of absence due to mental stress; the editors did a great job interfacing the one year time gap that is stated to have taken place during this time. Thanks, Christy, for sharing your talent in so many ways.
