Every time I watch this film it makes me feel good, if you want to send the best valentines, wind a video forward to the speech at the end and tell her it for her.It says everything. It has humour, its tragic and its feel good. Its as good as it gets. Helen Hunts performance as the down trod single mother is perfect, we begin with a view that she is just a run of the mill waitress with no substance, but anyone who knows any single mothers knows they are all exceptional people, and with a child with special needs even more so. Jack Nicholson shows the talent that we all know is there and he does it without trying.. love ya Jack. The whole movie is full of subtle messages from the dig at the US health care system to Melvilles attitude to a gay man whom he eventually learns to love. And parents who should learn to realise that children are there to be appreciated not judged
