Photos104More like thisReview Gives you that warm, fuzzy feeling. This is one of those movies where you feel "all is right with the world" when it's over. It is inspirational - in the midst of the violence and profanity that occurs in life, it reminds you that there are still good, honest and decent people. I admire the fact that a wonderful movie was created without nudity, very little violence or excess profanity (were there 4-letter words in the movie?). I admit, it's somewhat of a fantasy that good things happen only to good people and bad things to bad people - but it makes you feel good about the outcome all the same.

Jason C. YoungProfessor (uncredited) Was the movie where the heart is a true story?To the film's credit, it's based on a book of the same name (that was an Oprah book club pick) by Billie Letts, who is said to have based her book on the story of a woman who gave birth in a Costco. So all that melodrama is inspired by actual events, but it didn't impress critics.
