    • Quotes

      [Closing lines]

      Peggy: If you all didn't think I was crazy, I'm sure you will now. How do I explain the things I've said and done? How do I explain the person I've become? I know I've disappointed everyone and I'm sorry for that. I wish I was a more articulate person. I believe life is magical. It is so precious. And there are so many kinds of life in this life. So many things to love. The love for a husband or a wife, a boyfriend or girlfriend. The love for children. The love for yourself. And even material things. This is my love. It is mine. And it fills me and defines me. And it compels me on.

    Complete waste of time
    This movie was the biggest piece of crap I've seen in a while.

    The movie box called it a quirky comedy .... well, there was nothing quirky or comedic about it.

    Her dog dies and in that depression, she is duped into a lifestyle and militant political view.

    There are NO redeeming characters.

    Her one "passsion", saving animals, she does irresponsibly. Getting 15 dogs from the pound. Typical of of do-gooders who have no idea what their out of touch views actually mean in real life.

    Good grief, if I wanted to be bombarded with liberal propaganda, I would rent a Michael Moore "documentary".
