I've come to the conclusion that movies either grab you or they don't and oftentimes it's because of experiences you've had in your own life. I was an unwed mother at one point in my life, so I have great affection for the idea of some wonderful man coming along to love you even though you're big as a house.
I was happy to find I could buy a DVD because I loved this movie back when it aired, It comes off as a made for TV movie. Not extremely polished or the best dialogue.
Jimmy Smits, Rhea Pearlman, and Judith Light, why not? It seemed to be so promising.
