    Charles Busch wrote and directed this comedy drama about a male nurse who arrives to care for a terminally ill woman and forms a warm friendship with her sensitive 13 year old grandson. Poignant film can be overly precious at times, but ultimately benefits from the engaging and ...( read more)sincere performance of P.J. Verhoest, its young star.

    very touching and somewhat bittersweet film.. i could sympatise with the characters and although the story is somewhat dramatic, it's still feasable. a pity the filmography wasn't very well taken but perhaps that is what added the quaint little charm to it.

    this is a very heartwarming movie with a good script.. although its not very well filmed in some parts. I cried and laughed... and i think the boy acting as gil is very talented. and i admire charles busch who plays the male nurse and polly bergen too. great movie to watch.

    This was a really great movie. Deifinitly worth watching. It's different from my usual though, being a drama. It has it's sad moments and it's akward ones. But it's really good. so yeah.
