I loved the movie. I hope you get a chance to see it and it comes to your area. Its a great life story. John Goodman plays a man who is trying to return to his childhood girlfriend. Robert Carlyle finds him in his hour of need, and agrees to meet the childhood girlfriend for him
Robert Carlyle and Marisa Tomei are so wonderful together. The story of their meeting and falling and love is very romantic.
Mary Steenburgen is outstanding in her role as the dance instructor.
And Donnie Wahlberg steals the movie with his character.
Its a movie filled with outstanding actors. And a very touching and moving story. With great childhood stories.
