Jenna: Dear Baby, I hope someday somebody wants to hold you for 20 minutes straight and that's all they do. They don't pull away. They don't look at your face. They don't try to kiss you. All they do is wrap you up in their arms and hold on tight, without an ounce of selfishness to it.

Add a CommentBlack quirky humor (and suffering) that gets a tad grotesque here and there, but the high quality film making make it very enjoyable, and what a great idea having Andy Griffith as Joe.
This movie is a chicflic but the humor is ever so slightly black, which keep the characters grounded in the real world better than in most chicflicks. Life isn't all pie and ice cream. The pies are GORGEOUS. I want Jenna to make me a pie!
I am still trying to figure out the comedy part in this movie as I didnt laugh once but cried through some of it. Sad story
Funny and quirky.
OK, some scenes ,not for everyone. Nice ending.
Good movie, Keri Russell does a fantastic job. Well acted, well scripted, and well directed. I highly recommend this movie it is worth checking out!
There's always hope and outlet for messy situation...
Above-average repressed-woman-finds-herself fare. Nice performances by Cheryl Hines & octogenarian Andy Griffith as her friends.
A thoroughly enjoyable movie with a little bit of everything.
Quirky and charming in an unconventional way. Kerri Russell is adorable!
