Synopsis
Robert Carlyle is Frank Keane, a baker by trade but now a man consumed by his wife's death. When fate intervenes, he pulls over to help a stranger in a car wreck, a man near death (John Goodman) who urgently discloses a planned reunion, a meeting with a lost childhood love at a school for ballroom dance. So simply one man's dream becomes another man's destiny.
Critics' reviews
- "Predictable and decidedly old-fashioned in its sensibility, the film is likely to win over audiences if not critics."
- "A compelling, wrenching and wonderfully inspiring story."
- "Too cute, too transparent, too precious and ultimately too much."
- "The story is corny and predictable, but Carlyle's subtle, nuanced performance saves the movie from drowning in sentimentality"
