5.0 out of 5 stars Shallow Love; Deep Love, April 21, 2002

What a nice story! Truly one of those that you'll watch more than once. The evolution by Mary Tyler Moore's character with a rather "make-do" romance with Sam Waterston's character, a scheduled "weekly appointment", bland romance affair, to liking and truly gently loving an older, warmer, tender, and dry sense of humor Robert Preston character, is so delightful!! There are many funny scenes such as Mary and Sam in that muddy grave, and Robert Preston announcing in an awkward moment that "I did your ironing". So Finnigan learns to write his advice column with new vigor and finds true love too. The kind of fluffy story that romantics love, like me! We bought this video because we're collecting Sam Waterston movies. We think he's always excellent in his roles, and this one fits the bill again. Mary is the main character, and she's delightful and the attractive widow who found comfy love. Ah-h-h-h!!

I saw this movie when it first came out and ran on cable TV. I went out of my way staying up late to see it as many times as it ran. Robert Preston and Mary Tyler Moore are both wonderful in their roles. Though I love the Music Man, I have to say this is my favorite Preston role. I loved this movie when I was 22 and love it more at 38. It means even more now that I'm married and have children. "Love isn't what you feel, it is what you do for each other." (*Maybe you won't believe it before you're married, married for 15 years and you'll know it!*)
"I did your ironing."
"I love you for doing my ironing."
Rent it or buy it but watch it and love it... Finnegan Begin Again will become one of your favorite movies after the first viewing and gets better each time after.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Gem!, August 9, 2001

This is one of my favorite movies. Robert Preston and Mary Tyler Moore give charming performances about love after 40--or 50! Just to hear Robert Preston giggle at the end of the movie really tickles my heart. This is one of those movies that you never heard of--yet once you see it, it becomes a favorite. I think you'll enjoy it.
