This film speaks of different kinds of love including young love, older love, parental love. It also includes many adulterous affairs and a woman who cheats on her husband with another woman. Morgan Freeman as Harry Stevenson and Greg Kinnear as Bradley Thomas give strong performances. Harry’s son has recently died and he and his wife are dealing with the loss. He is friends with Bradley and Bradley goes through failed relationships because, as Harry tells him, “You don’t open your eyes.” In one poignant scene, when Harry is feeling low, he says to Bradley, “Is God dead, or does He just hate all of us?” Bradley replies, “God isn’t dead. He has given us the gift of being brave to deal with these things.” Harry, when he is up, says people should focus on the little blessings, which added a nice touch.

The movie’s theme seems to be that of either love being a trick which is played on us, or it is everything and nothing can compare to it. Unfortunately, this film has strong sex, nudity and language, and more than one adulterous affair, and we cannot award our Dove Seal to the picture.
