This was a wonderful film, 27 December 2005
10/10
Author: fireyredhead75042 from United States

I have watched this movie several times and always enjoy in very much. Sally Field does a wonderful job and when the part comes when she marries Sam it makes me feel a lot of my own life watching them together. This was a wonderful film filled with real life experiences and showing how love can go from the fire of romance to the comfortable times when we grow older with someone who truly loves us. Sally Field displays the love we have for our children that can somewhat be enabling but love never the less. Sam shows his wife that she must let go in order not to loose her children. Thank you for the lovely film that shows us Hope, Love and Compassion.
