I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

It's not perfect, but it's a gem of a movie. I was surprised and touched by this movie. I don't usually like "feel-good" movies, but will recommend this one to everyone.Love evolves between these two morbid people. HE is safe from a romantic involvement with her (49 vs. 17), so he permits himself to welcome this lonely and lost girl into his lonely life and compassionately offers her one chance after another.Both actors are perfect in their roles - LeeLee is quite the original! And Brooks is great without being pathetic. Definitely a chemistry.Very entertaining writing/dialogue. Some take-away lines.So Lahti's a director? Has even one a director Oscar? Where have I been living? I'll check her out!

I really enjoyed this movie, and actually saw it when it first came out. years later now, does it not remind anyone of Lost in Translation Murray/Johansen?? For some reason I feel it completely does, I feel the only reason why Lost got so much attention was Sofia Coppola's reputation, and I'm not going to deny Murray or Johanssan's credibility, I am complete fans of both...However I feel that this movie could have been more of a hit had it had an exotic setting like Japan, or just the boasting word of mouth hype that some movies are lucky enough to get, and this movie just didn't really attract that many people sadly..

This film starts out troubling the audience by the slight possible relationship between R and J. But then we see that their friendship helped both remove themselves from their respective self-prisons. J is trapped in her mothers world where she feels she has to be the rebel. R is stuck in his over protective, safe shell and can't seem to break free. Together they find companionship and learn most of life's most challenging secrets together. This movie was touching in the very sense that it asks the audience to have an open mind about the films main idea but it is equally beautiful and bittersweet. In the end, the theme of breaking free and being yourself, and loving with your whole entire heart becomes truly apparent.

I only caught this film by accident! ... it was on TV and I couldn't decided what I wanted to do, so probably the best time to catch me off guard!! the performances are magical, "Albert Brooks" whom I had never heard of, (me being a Brit and NOT seeing much of "Saturday Night Live"), and being the same age as myself portrayed my generation of an average Joe to a T ...and "Jennifer" played by "Leelee Sobieski" made me realise that not ALL kids are the way I see them portrayed in movies and on TV, she played the part as a REAL person (not some dimwitted moron, or violent thug) ... all in all a wonderful story and told like it should be!
