A preachy and manipulative tearjerkering melodrama that mishandles its pseudo-emotional longwindedness. Goldberg and Liotta derved better than this punctuated pap

Reveals that loyalty to life, not to time, is what heals those in deep grief.

A perfect little movie. A heartwarming story about the healing process, an impressive performance from a child actor, effective handling of a divisive issue (in this case, race and interracial relationships), and nice bits of music, from Manny's commercial jingles to his father's deaf violin-playing.

Movie about a broken family. A man's wife dies and he employs a housekeeper to help bring up his daughter. Good cast.
