Enjoyable movie that doesn't waste time letting you in on the feelings and problems of all the characters involved in a most down to earth, comical way that holds your interest from begining to end. Delightful story about a bunch of messed up grown-ups, who through the relentless efforts of an equally messed up, but very determined adolesent, all eventually find the road to love and happiness. Excellent performances by all stars.

This is a romantic comedy about a writer who temps as a security guard in a school. He discovers that Sarandon is sending her son to a school out of her district and in the process of his investigation, becomes interested and empathetic to the child and falls in love with Sarandon. The story is realistic and funny, and one of the great early dreyfuss/sarandon films.

the boy and dreyfus had great chemistry and had me laughing from the start.and as usual sarandon gave a phenominal proformance.i found it touching how they came together like a family.i give this movie two thumbs up

This movie is one of the very best I've ever seen. A light-hearted comedy starring Richard Dryfus and Susan Sarandon, it portrays a a profound friendship that eventually leads to a love match. I highly recommend it. Now, if the studio would only release it because I would love to own it.

i watch this movie on a regular basis. luckily many moons ago i left a VHS tape recording a sporting event. after reviewing it i found this lovely movie tacked onto the end. since then i have transfered ito DVD and it takes pride of place in my DVD's. Richard Dreyfuss is excellent and quirky, and Sarandon gives a first class performace as the childs mum. Its a bit of a weepie but it has some good funny moments.

if anyone ever comes here who was involved with the film, i would like to say a big thanks for making it

OUTSTANDING FILM ABOUT TRUE LOVE.GLADYS KNIGHT SANG A SONG ON THIS FILM ENTITLED"HERE'S THAT SUNNY DAY" AND I CANT FIND IT ANYWHERE EXCEPT ON MY COPY OF THE MOVIE.I WANT TO PLAY THIS RECORD ELSEWHERE AND CANT...PLEASE SEND ANY SUGGESTIONS.

This is such a feel good movie i really like Susan s
Saradon as the mom

Susan Sarandon plays a single mom who dates boorish men, Richard Dreyfuss is a school security guard who can't convince his girlfriend to marry him. In an oh-so-predictable plot, Sarandon's son (Wil Wheaton) tries every trick in the book to get them together. Wheaton is obnoxiously whiny, not cute, as the slow moving tale winds its way towards a sappy ending. A few laughs, but not worth the trouble.
