(rated PG-13) From director Don Roos comes an offbeat romantic drama about a spirited widow falling for a smooth-talking ex-alcoholic salesman, only to discover that he has more in common with her than he first lets on. Turns out he gave up an airplane seat to a widow’s husband pre-plane crash and now he’s in her life to help her “bounce” back. Under pressure to be a hit because the leading role players are both Oscar winners; Ben Affleck and his on screen/off screen, on/off honey Gwyneth Paltrow. The movie works because of a smart script and real life chemistry. Roos did better with his directorial debut “The Opposite Of Sex” but it’s the charm of Affleck/Paltrow that makes this Miramax stamp-of-approval flick well worth a date night out.
