    Interesting concept to fall in love with someone and then find out she is the recipient of your dead wife's heart. I think they made the heart transplant part look too simplistic but it was still and sweet love story and parts of it made me want to cry.

    Watched about 45 minutes at my friend's house and then went home. It tries really hard, but never breaks out of the mold of "generic rom-com". Too bad.

    A solid romance film that I enjoyed. David Duchovny and Minnie Driver both are good in this and have chemistry in the film. With a decent story and characters made for a entertaining film. Some funny and sad moments through out the film. What I expected. Worth checking out.

So innocent, so naive, so sweet and sincere, that you must leave your cynicism at the door or choose another movie. full review

David Duchovny and Minnie Driver star in a movie that almost seems like a godsend in this age of romantic-comedy schmaltz. full review
