Light-hearted and yet so profound (My dog didn't like it!!!)

Rating: 9/10 (26 September 1998)

The main characters are extremely moving and at the same time very amusing. I thought that Greg Kinnear was marvellous, especially when he could find no words to express his indignation, as well as Helen Hunt when she did not know what to make of her strange boy-friend's attitudes. The horrified reactions of all the friends visiting Simon in hospital are an absolute classic! (my mother pesters all her friends with a re-enactment of that situation...).
