fun quirky dramedy(I think thats what they're calling them now drama/comedy). Portman is perfectly cast as Novalee nation the down on her luck girl thanks to the number 5, who gains her 15mins of fame by giving birth in a walmart. Its pretty much predictable, one of those films w...( read more)

Of course the book was better, but this movie was infinately watchable. A very well done adaptation!
The book and the movie (VHS) are on my bookshelves!
