On the cover, this film looks great. It's set in Oregon (I think it's southern Portland area), and has an all star cast.

The protagonist (Greg Kinnear) in the film doesn't understand his wife (Selma Blair). At all. She leaves him for another woman they met after one of her softball games. The film sort of follows their growing relationship. He runs a small coffee shop, employing a younger man, who is a recovering drug addict, and is looking for love as well. A wonderful girl walks in for a job one day, and Kinnear is almost forced to hire her, at the risk of losing his only employee. This couple begin a relationship.

Kinnear thinks he finds love with another woman, a real estate agent. She is unhappy in her current adulterous relationship with a married man, and enjoys the relative stability of an unmarried man in Kinnear.

Overseeing all situations is Morgan Freeman, who, along with his wife, act almost as parental figures overseeing all of the relationships. Still recovering from the loss of their own son, they are careful to observe and reflect amongst themselves of the twisting natures of love, yet never revealing to the parties their true feelings of any situation.

I'm sure there is some kind of deep message buried in this movie. It is pretty easy to follow, and I like the shots the director was going after. But Kinnear and Blair continue to be the same as they are in all of their films, Kinnear the constant victim, and Blair the easily guided actress, doesn't do it for me. Freeman delivers a rather familiar role as well, being the wise father-figure he has played so many times before.

Overall, I give this movie a:
