This movie is a classic Chick Flick on the order of "An Affair to Remember" with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr. However, in this one Tom Hanks is a widower with an 8 year old boy named Jonah. Jonah is looking for a new mother.
 
Tonight my daughter and her friend who had been helping with a "Midsummer Nights Dream production" at their high School came home and decided to watch it late on Amazon Prime through our Roku in the living room on the 60 inch flat screen there so since they were watching this my wife and I joined them. I had seen it when it first came out a couple of years before my present wife and I got together. It reminded me a lot of myself when I was divorced the first time in 1977 and I was a single Dad with a 3 year old son. Though financially things weren't as good as Architect Tom Hanks then I had and have a very good relationship with my son like Tom Hanks has in this movie so I could relate to a lot of this. When my first wife and I broke up I didn't date anyone either for about 2 years because I never expected to be married more than once. But life never is what you expect it to be is it?
 
So, anyway, if you like Chick Flicks this is one of the best just like "An Affair to Remember" with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr.
