A lovely little offbeat film......, 28 May 2000
10/10
Author: k h from United States

This film was a lovely little surprise. I saw it at Professor Browns class in New York City, and afterwards there was a discussion with the filmmaker Linda Yellin and the actor Eric Stolz. It's a gentle film about relationships- the strongest one being Lynn Redgraves with Harry Connick Jr.- she's a middle aged woman trying to hand on to her young man in the face of neighbor Cindi Crawford. Good luck! It also features fun performances by William Hurt and Samantha Mathis as two ghosts who fall in love. It sounds wacky, and it kind of is, but it's touching too. Overall I'd say it's not your run of the mill cookie cutter movie. Apparently a great deal of it was improvised, and that adds a wonderful immediacy to it. The performances are all spot on, and it was nice to see a film filled with good will and love for a change. Definitely a date movie....................
