[REVISED version; based on an advance preview:]  That subtitle I created [above] more or less sums up the gist of this film...

...  DIANE LANE is a civil-but-angry divorcee trying to raise her 2 kids. Helping out a friend, she temporarily runs a vacation house & chances to host a divorced man (RICHARD GERE) who’s on a personal mission in the area, trying to meet a very upset and hurt man (SCOTT GLENN)...

...  In their own way, Lane & Gere (who work very effectively together) end up helping smooth out some of each others' problems in life...

...  Will their inter-connecting lead to anything lasting and worthwhile?..

...  That’s what’s covered in this romantic drama. The film is not filled with action or special effects or wild excitement-- it’s two people getting to know each other little-by-little.  It “WORKS”, it has a number of pleasing episodes, and I recommend it to those seeking a leisurely investigation of human relationships...
