Review by Wayne Malin

Just mesmerizing,

Piece of garbage about a widowed man (Joseph Brooks) who finds new love with a college flame (Shelley Hack)…but will it last? You seriously won’t care.

Badly acted (Hack is so bad you stare at the TV in disbelief), poor direction with some really terrible songs (although the title song was a minor hit). I heard this movie was a good one for romantics–I’m a big romantic myself but I HATED this thing. It’s done so poorly in so many departments it boggles the mind. If you want to see a good movie about a man finding love after his wide died get “Chapter Two”. THAT one is fun, romantic and believable with a knockout performance by Marsha Mason. This one lacks everything the first one has.

When it first came out they actually had an advertising campaign telling guys to take someone they loved and lost to this movie–it might bring them back together (!!!!) My guess is if anyone took a woman to this movie she probably still hates him to this day!
