Review:

I honestly expected a different movie, and that isn't a bad thing.  When I first saw the trailer I thought it was just going to be one of those typical stories about a girl who is hard to get and a guy who gets all the ladies, but there is a much deeper part to the story.

Maggie, who is suffering from Parkinson's disease, is determined to have absolutely no love connections with any men for fear of being "rejected" like she had been before.  Her hurting heart leads the story through its ups and downs and I enjoyed this movie a lot more than I thought I would.  I didn't enjoy it just because of the comedy, I enjoyed it because of many other inspirational aspects to it.

I would recommend this movie for anyone who wants a love story that has humor but a deeper meaning to it all.  It is truly a great film.

That's all for now...
