Loren’s Review

One of my absolute favorites.  The relationships are so real and the agony and discouragement of lack is played out so authentically, how can I help but love this movie?  I connected with the characters so easily and related to many of the emotional battles they faced.  The strong supporting cast of Renée Zellweger and Paul Giamatti helps make this film a classic.
