Stephen Z. gave it a9:
While one could quibble as to whether the two would ever offer and accept the "platonic" arrangement, there is some backstory of missing pieces of life for both that render it not impossible. And once you get beyond this, the ability of each of the leads to bring something wonderful to complete the other makes this a very believable and life-affirming story. It is not just a "chick flick". It is an emotionally uplifting film that appeals to all. The only reason I don't rate it a "10" is that the mother's reactions at the funeral make no sense at all. Otherwise, this requires no greater suspension of disbelief than many classical romantic plays and novels.

I loved the movie. It reminded me of a modern "Ruth and Boas" love story.
Rod R. gave it a10:
This movie was adorable, absorbing, smart, funny and very touching. I absolutely loved it. They should've put it in the movie theaters!!
Stephen M. gave it a10:
Reviewing the reviews and reviewers it is interesting to note that to a person the non Jewish reviewers did not like this movie whilst the Jewish ones did. Can we say to the doubters don't review what you don't understand.
