On the day that Sarah (Emmanuelle Vaugier) hosts a not-so-successful showing of her latest oil paintings, this beautiful young woman is also dumped by her boyfriend! In truth, Sarah hasn't made enough time for the relationship, although the rejection stings. Therefore, she heads to her mother, Jeanie's (Shelley Long) house for comfort. Yet, Mom is bothersome, too. Sarah is neat and organized while Jeanie hasn't been the same since becoming a widow. The older woman's home is messy and shows signs of one neglected hobby, like learning the ukulele, after another. In a heap of mail, Sarah is aghast to learn that her grandmother's house is in the process of being sold to make way for a large development in a quiet little village. No, no, it can't happen, cries Sarah. The two ladies waltz off to the nearby town, where they find a city councilperson and lawyer, Roger (Mark Devlin). His advice is that they only way to stop the process now is to find something historical about a small chapel that sits near grandma's house and is part of the land purchased. Two more things occur. Sarah and Roger like the looks of each other, as singles, but spar frequently at various encounters. Then, amazingly, Jeanie is startled to learn that a former beau she thought was killed in Vietnam is ALIVE and living in her hometown, too. He, like her, is widowed. Will there be romance in the air AND will the beloved properties be saved? This lovely, wonderful flick is just right for any fans of romantic drama, with some comic elements, too. Long may be the only well-known cast member but Devlin and Vaugier are attractive, talented folks who charm the audience very well. Then, too, the small town scenery is gorgeous while the story has some twists and turns that keep the entertainment on a high level. There is likewise no objectionable material, so even tween girls will enjoy it. Do you sense that you are a viewer who will like this movie a lot? Don't delay, get it soon!
