    I really liked this movie because of Ally Sheedy and the music

    Yes, the movie is very predictable and full of cliché's as stated in some of the commentaries.

    So what? How many different versions of Cinderella have you seen so far? All cliché and predictable, isn't? In my opinion what is outstanding in this movie is Ally Sheedy's performance, and that is what makes this movie worth seeing. Superb is her acting, particularly in the scene with the final confrontation between Deb and her father.

    The music that plays in the background during that final confrontation scene is also really beautiful. Looking up in the end credits, I guess it is called "February", but I could not find it anywhere so far.

    Funny and Real

    My wife and I enjoyed this film a lot. The actors come across like real people, and the script is funny at times, serious at times.

    The movies adult subject matter is constrained to adult language, and some adult situations.

    A wonderful little laugh-cry "sleeper".

    Every now and then a group of talented writers, actors, directors, etc. coalesce without fanfare, big budget, or broadside promotion and quietly give birth to a very special film. So it is with "Autumn Hearts", a sentimental comedy/drama about a Harvard University student and groom-to-be who's unexpectedly reunited with a trio of long lost sisters from the other side of the tracks. The films takes the audience on a roller coaster ride of laughs and tears as the motley mix of characters earnestly seek needed reconciliations and purge long held regrets. All acting is good but Sheedy's performance in consummate.

    Wicked Terrible Movie

    How bad was it? How much can you despise the characters? How much can you hate the actors playing the characters? When you watch a modern movie about dysfunctional families, you know, going in, that you will have to spend some time with characters that are not so nice or pleasant. OK, I'm fine with that. But this is the first experience that I've had where I found, not only, the characters highly unpleasant, but also the actors and their portrayal of those hateful charters, highly unpleasant as well. You would do well to just pass this one by. It leaves you with dog breath at the end and you just have to go and gargle with Clorox to get it out!

    SunDunce?

    The wife and I were predicting the scenes before they happened in this empty-calorie cliché-fest. Like the stripper, the unopened letters, the reality of the abandoning-husband, etc. I did think the way the ending was handled was good. I think those who enjoyed this film either worked on it and wanted to start a good word-of-mouth or they're expectations have been lowered by the crop of chick flicks that are cranked out these days. The Autumn Heart was judged in a good light based, I think, on its independent status. But this isn't fair to the studio-produced crap that people gleefully rip. Fortunately, I've already forgotten most everything that happened in The Autumn Heart anyway.
