It is worth watching. I had only read the first few examples when I composed and posted that. As I continued reading posts it dawned on me that I had misread what we were attempting to do here, but I decided to just leave it be. Let me try again with another movie.

Yeah. I gotta agree. Pixiest won the thread.
So far.
Yes. As for the Japanese Orphans movie, I felt sad a moment reading it, until, yes, I started laughing. More of a combination "laugh" and "aww" all at one time.
Really? That's a scene in Transformers? Oh dear God...

Nah, the worst scene in Transformers is either the peeing Bumblebee scene...or ANY scene with Code-Crackin', Donut-Eatin' Sassy Black Stereotype Guy.

Sounds about right. I didn't like that movie at all.

Too true. I like this movie, but when you really look at what happens during it . . . .
And even worse, she gives up the really great guy who GETS her and wants the same things she does for some guy she doesn't know who happens to have a sweet kid.

Dude solves dysfunctional family problems till everybody dies and Poland invades.
Boy and girl, too young to marry, end up dieing thanks to their religious leader's silly plan.
(Or--better one: Its High School Musical, without the music, and set in Italy, and the kids die.)
Old dude writes will, retires, and goes bonkers in the rain till he dies.
Three old ladies and a nagging wife send a good guy into the world of ultimate dirty politics till he dies.
Child molesting dysfunctional family of fairies screw around with the love lives of Athens finest couples. (Surprisingly nobody dies)

That's a pattern in Ephron movies. Her leads are always involved with somebody else, and these SOs are always given the flimsiest of flaws in order to justify them being dumped.
Meg Ryan's squeeze had allergies. Oooh, how terrible!
I agree with Mike Nelson, that it would have been easier to swallow if the guy had at least gotten UPSET when she dumped him.

It didn't seem she dumped him because of the allergies, but because of the lack of "magic." If a friend used that line in real life, I'd tell her she was nuts. When I watch this movie, I get sucked in enough to get misty when she finally meets Tom Hanks.
