Summary of this DVD...
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.
This type of DVD is good for...
anyone who likes a good romantic comedy with a wonderful ending. This movie has a lot of heart.
I especially liked...
all the characters. I think Keri Russell is amazing as Jenna.
When I finished viewing this DVD I wanted to...
watch it again. This one is a keeper.
This DVD made me feel...
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.
The cast of this DVD...
is outstanding, especially Ms. Shelly, Keri Russell, Nathan Filion, Jeremy Sisto, Andy Griffith and Cheryl Hines. They all shine.
I recommend this DVD because...
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.
