This is a quirky comedy about a waitress who specializes in making exotic pies. She is unhappily married, gets pregnant and has a romantic affair with her gynecologist. The diner where she works is owned by an ornery elderly gentleman, played to perfection by Andy Griffith.

There is some sadness in this but it is mostly offset by the quirky charm of the characters. The movie was written and directed by Adrienne Shelly, who plays the waitress named Dawn in the movie. Ms. Shelly did not live to see the movie released as she was murdered. her real life daughter plays Jenna's daughter Lulu in the film.

anyone who likes a good romantic comedy with a wonderful ending. This movie has a lot of heart.

all the characters. I think Keri Russell is amazing as Jenna.

watch it again. This one is a keeper.

like I had watched a very well written and well acted film. It had some Oscar nominations and in my opinion it should have won.

is outstanding, especially Ms. Shelly, Keri Russell, Nathan Filion, Jeremy Sisto, Andy Griffith and Cheryl Hines. They all shine.

it is hard to find a smart comedy that is well acted and with writing as good as this. The ending was very nice, also.
