    Percy is so misunderstood by one person and it ultimately costs her her life, and him in the end his family relationship for being so quick to judge and condem Percy.

    One of the few chick flicks I actually like, this is a very well done drama that bleeds its Maine locale through and through, and if the ending doesn't get you at least a bit misty eyed....well, you're a pretty cold person.

    I saw it way back when but don't remember it all that well. I wasn't a huge fan but I was really young, so who knows.

    And Ellen Burstyn? I'm so there!

    I didn't think the movie was all that great.
    The story could have been written better. The essay idea was great but the rest of the movie was slow.
    The ending was the best part so do yourself a favor and fast forward through the 1st hour and just watch the ending.

    A moving film that has some beautiful scenery, a heartfelt script and wonderful performances from its cast.

    I was SOOO impressed wtih this movie. I am going to buy it for my mom. It was so good. I am not going to give away the ending but I was disappointed and really sad. And I wanted her to marry that one guy. You will know when you watch it. This movie was so touching. So AMAZINGLY good.

    I like this movie. Sit down and have some kleenex handy. Possibly a little cheesy for some I think it has a good message.

    Nice but oh so boring. They just present a lot of stuff but in such a boring manner that you find yourself not even caring anymore.

    Excellent movie about not judging others for their past, but getting to know who that person is now.
