Dove Review

There are many rules in our society about whom one should date. Some people are disgusted by May/December romances; others think different races shouldn’t mate. This film says what’s important is finding a soul mate, despite the differences. Romantically photographed, with a beautiful soulful look, the film engages with its textured performances by the leads and by supporting actress Elaine Stritch. A tearjerker of the first order, I haven’t heard so many sniffles in a theater since “Love Story.” Unfortunately, despite its gentleness and insight into the importance of family relationships, I am unable to recommend it for family viewing due to the two sexual situations outside marriage and a couple of offensive words, including one profanity.
